What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Chandpur Beach is lauded for its tranquil and secluded atmosphere, offering a peaceful escape from crowded tourist spots. Visitors appreciate the unique experience of driving along the shore and the spectacular sunset views. However, the limited facilities and the need to be mindful of significant tides are points to consider for a comfortable visit.
"The beach is a bit secluded and hence is perfect for people looking for solitude. There are a few stray dogs that you can befriend by bribing them with some biscuits. The sunset in this beach is spectacular. An wonderful weekend destination."

"The beach has a driveway which makes it amazing. You drive along the beach and hear the sea roar. Although the driveway is really narrow and you have to really careful when two cars cross. Otherwise kts amazing to drive here."
Shashank Shovit
"A sea cruise to Chandpur can offer a peaceful and secluded experience, but there is no crowd or hustle and bustle like a mini Cox's Bazar. You can enjoy the open sea in a calm environment, but the tides here are quite significant and sea bathing is only possible during low tide. While visiting Chandpur, you can enjoy the home of Hilsa, Mohanpur tourist center , rivers and river estuaries, and local flavors like Hilsa.
