Kuakata' (Bangla: কুয়াকাটা)
is a scenic sea beach in south-western Bangladesh. It is
about 320 Kilometres south of Dhaka, the capital, and
about 70 Kilometres from the Patuakhali District
headquarters.
Kuakata is famous for being the only sea beach in
Bangladesh from where both sunrise and sunset can be
seen.
It is a famous destination for people around Bangladesh
and from overseas. The government and local business
owners have made currently significant development. Not
so long ago tourists were uncomfortable to visit Kuakata
due to poor communication systems and dangerous road
conditions. Beside that the local communities were not
very supportive towards the tourists; resulting some
unpleasant events in the beach area.
But now, those days seems gone from Kuakata beach.
People are now more business concerned and
communications are much better than before. A new Police
station was build 4 years ago and Community awareness is
in place. |
