A long stretch of shoreline where the Karnaphuli River meets the Bay of Bengal, best known for its evening light.

Patenga is the city's most visited stretch of coast. Ships waiting to enter the port sit on the horizon, and the sea wall fills with visitors towards sunset.

The shoreline is exposed to tides and to rough weather. Treat the water with caution and follow any instructions given locally.

Best time to visit

Late afternoon in the dry season is the most popular time. Conditions change quickly in the monsoon.

Visitor tips

Check sea conditions before going near the water.
Carry your litter back with you.
