Cox's Bazar

Cox's Bazar needs 2 days: walking its uninterrupted 120-kilometer sandy beach on the Bay of Bengal, the longest in the world, is itself the plan. November-February is best, avoiding the monsoon. It's inexpensive by international standards. It's Bangladesh's most popular beach destination among locals themselves, and its unbroken coastal strip -with no bays or headlands interrupting it- is what earns it the record for the longest natural beach on the planet.
