Patenga is a popular tourist spot. Patenga Beach lies
approximately twenty kilometers outside the city of Chittagong, and is located
near to fascinating landmarks including the Shah Amanat International Airport
and the BNS Isha Khan Naval Base. It is located at the Karnaphuli River mouth
and stretches to the Bay of Bengal.
Its width is narrow
and swimming in the seas is not recommended. Part of the seashore is built-up
with concrete walls, and large blocks of stones have been laid to prevent
erosion. During the 1990s, a host of restaurants and kiosks sprouted out around
the beach area. Lighting of the area has enhanced the security aspect of
visiting at night.
Nowadays, alcohol peddling is very common at the beach. Vendors from the city sell their ice creams, cold drinks and food to the hundreds of tourists who come to Patenga Beach. According to the local people, Patenga is the best place for delicious, mouth-watering street food at very low costs. One of the popular dishes of the food stands is the fried, spicy mud crab served with a small plate full of Falafel garnished with cucumber and onion. The beach has a wonderful cool atmosphere even at the evening, and people come to enjoy the soothing breeze. The beach is lined with massive shady palm trees and fishing boats. It also has an array of speed boats for visitors. The beach, however, is quite sandy, with a few rocky patches.
Most visitors come to Patenga Beach as it is known for having some of the most stunning sunsets and sunrises in Bangladesh.
