Welcome to the world longest beach Cox’s Bazar. Know about
Cox’s Bazar before tour.
Cox's Bazar (Bengali: কক্সবাজার Kaksbājār) is a
town, a fishing port and district headquarters in Bangladesh. It is known for
its wide and long sandy beach which is considered by many as the world's
longest natural sandy sea beach. The
beach in Cox's Bazar is an unbroken 125 km sandy sea beach with a gentle slope.
It is located 150 km south of the industrial port Chittagong. Cox’s Bazar is
also known by the name Panowa, whose literal translation means "yellow
flower." Its other old name was "Palongkee".
The modern Cox's Bazar derives its name from Captain Hiram
Cox (died 1799), an officer serving in British India. An officer of the British
East India Company, Captain Cox was appointed Superintendent of Palongkee
outpost after Warren Hastings became Governor of Bengal. Captain Cox was
specially mobilised to deal with a century-long conflict between Arakan
refugees and local Rakhains. He embarked upon the mammoth task of
rehabilitating refugees in the area and made significant progress. A premature
death took Captain Cox in 1799 before he could finish his work. To commemorate
his role in rehabilitation work, a market was established and named Cox's Bazar
("Cox's Market") after him.
