Cox's Bazar Beach Draws Large Crowds During Weekend Holiday

(MENAFN- Bangladesh Monitor) Dhaka: Cox's Bazar sea beach attracted a large number of tourists and local visitors on October 9 as improving weather brought renewed activity to the country's popular coastal destination.

Kolatoli, Sugandha, and Laboni points were crowded with visitors in the afternoon, with families and groups of friends enjoying the sea views, taking photographs, and spending time along the shoreline, said BSS in a report.

Despite the growing crowds, lifeguards remained on duty at major beach points, while red flags were displayed as a precaution during low tide to alert visitors to potential risks from the sea.

According to BSS, Sea-Safe Lifeguard supervisor Saifullah Sifat said safety teams were monitoring conditions and working to prevent accidents involving tourists entering the water.

Visitors also explored other attractions across the district, including Marine Drive and Himchhari Waterfall, adding to the holiday activity throughout the area.

Cox's Bazar district administration said it was monitoring tourism-related activities to protect visitors from overcharging and harassment.
