Destination guide
Shamlapur Beach
শামলাপুর সমুদ্রসৈকত
A quiet beach near Teknaf at the Naf estuary — dense casuarina groves, fishermen's colourful sampans and nets drying. Travellers say it's the exact opposite of Cox's Bazar town's noise: the draw is living fishing culture — watch nets hauled in, potka and boga fish coming ashore.
History & significance
Nearby stands the Major Sinha memorial — at the spot where he was killed. The Thenga hills lie to the north, the Teknaf Wildlife Sanctuary beside.
How to get there
50 tk by CNG from Teknaf bus stand. It sits on Marine Drive between Inani and Teknaf — a hilly stretch travellers say 'feels like Bandarban'.
