| Patenga Beach |
Patenga is a sea beach
located 14 kilometres south of the port city of Chittagong, Bangladesh. It is near the mouth of
the Karnaphuli River. Patenga is a popular tourist spot.
The beach is very close to Bangladesh Naval Academy of Bangladesh Navy, and Shah Amanat International Airport. The beach width
is narrow and swimming in the seas is not recommended. Part of the seashore is
built-up with concrete walls. Also large blocks of stones have been laid out to
prevent erosion. During 1990s a host of restaurants and kiosks have sprouted
out around the beach area. Lighting of the beach area has enhanced the security
aspect of visiting in the night. People rise up early in the morning to witness
the beautiful sunrise.
