Pristine sandy beaches, coconut palms, sunshine and tropical weather - Cox's Bazar in the south-eastern corner of Bangladesh has everything to make it an ideal holiday destination. With more than 100km (62.5 miles) of sand, Cox's Bazar has the world's longest uninterrupted natural beach. Since this long coastal line by the Bay of Bengal has rarely been explored, many feel it has the potential to rival other beach holidays destinations in the region like Pattaya in Thailand or Galle in Sri Lanka.
