Sugandha Beach

Sugandha Beach — commonly called Sugandha Point — is one of the named stretches of Cox’s Bazar Sea Beach, Bangladesh’s continuous, roughly 120-kilometre shoreline along the Bay of Bengal. Like Laboni Point and Kolatoli Point, “Sugandha” refers to a recognised section of the same unbroken beach rather than a separate body of sand, and it sits along the coast between Laboni Point and Kolatoli Point, within easy reach of Cox’s Bazar town.

Sugandha is one of the more heavily visited points on Cox’s Bazar Beach, valued for its broad stretch of open sand, easy access from many hotels in the tourist area, and views over the Bay of Bengal. As with other points along this beach, foot traffic and the number of vendors can vary noticeably between an ordinary day and a peak holiday period.

The beach is a popular spot to watch the sun set over the Bay of Bengal, and open sand with wide sea views are its main draw. The surrounding area is also known for its proximity to the Burmese Market, a well-known shopping street near this part of the beach selling shells, jewelry, and local handicrafts.

Practical information: Sugandha Beach is open public space with free access, and as with the rest of Cox’s Bazar Beach it doesn’t keep fixed opening hours. In early 2026, Cox’s Bazar district authorities carried out enforcement action to remove unauthorized shops and structures built on the beach and dunes near Sugandha Point, as part of a wider clean-up effort along the coastline — so the mix and number of stalls and vendors in the area can change and shouldn’t be assumed to be permanent or fixed.

Safety: As with other points along Cox’s Bazar Beach, sea conditions at Sugandha are not uniformly safe. Strong currents, sudden drop-offs, and quicksand-like patches during ebb tide have been reported at points along this coastline. If you plan to swim, stay within areas watched by lifeguards where available, pay attention to warning flags or signage, follow instructions from Tourist Police or local beach patrol, and supervise children closely near the water at all times.
