What's near me in Cox's Bazar?

Staying in Kolatoli, at a resort on Marine Drive or in town? Type where you are. The map zooms in on you and shows the beaches, hidden gems and food nearby, from Maheshkhali island to Ramu and Inani, with how far each one is.

Distances are as the crow flies (a straight line, bird's-eye view). By road it's usually further, especially to Ramu and Maheshkhali. The map shows only the main roads and stops at Inani.

Getting around

In town, CNG auto-rickshaws, battery rickshaws and cycle rickshaws are everywhere; agree the fare first.
Marine Drive: hire an open-top chander gari or a CNG for the day. See our Marine Drive guide for stops and prices.
The sea. Currents can be strong. Swim only where lifeguards are on duty, and follow the flags.
Ukhia and Teknaf. South of Inani, the road passes the area where Rohingya refugees mostly live. The UK government advises caution there. Check the latest advice before going beyond Inani.
Going to Saint Martin's Island? Ships leave from Nuniyachhara in Cox's Bazar. See our Saint Martin's Island guide.
