Kuakata
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.
The
kuakata
beach
is
30
km
long
and
6 km
wide.
On
13
September,
2007
government
have
announced
red
alert
in
Kuakata
as
caution
for
a
possible
Tsunami. |
|
|
|
It
is a
famous
destination
for
people
around
Bangladesh
and
from
overseas.
The
most
important
attraction
of
the
beach
is
that
one
can
see
both
sunrise
and
sunset
from
some
of
its
locations.
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. |
