Laldia Sea Beach is located in Patharghata Upazila of Barguna District, Bangladesh, at the confluence of the Baleshwar River and the Bishkhali River, beside the Laldia Forest. [1] The beach is being developed following the model of Cox's Bazar. [2] [3]
From Barguna, one can easily reach Laldia Forest by motorcycle after traveling to Patharghata by bus. It is also possible to go via Pirojpur to Patharghata. [1] From Haringhata, it takes about two hours on foot through the Laldia Forest to reach the beach. [4]
Sunrise and sunset can be observed from here. With the sea on one side, the forest on the other, and the beach in between, this natural beauty is rare. A forest of casuarina trees has been planted along the shore of Laldia Sea Beach. The 950-meter-long wooden foot trail in Harinbaria Forest has been extended to reach Laldia Sea Beach. [5]
