It is generally seen at off the coast of the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian Ocean, New South Wales, Queensland Coast, Hawaii Island, Mexico, Africa, Florida. In Bangladesh we have long sea and sand beach, namely “Cox’s Bazar” , that is almost 120 km long, so Cox’s Bazar sea beach is called as “World’s largest sea beach” So most of our coastal areas in Cox’s bazar it easy can be found, Beside that Kuakata and St. Islands is can be seen easily.

The blue water and waves from the sea is now flowing freely on the shores of the sea. ‘Sagar Lata’ has lost its existence in the face of various man-made architectures, adversities and artificial installation in the shore are for tourism and other purposes. As the crowds in Cox’s Bazar have decreased due to the corona virus, a fair of ‘Sagar Lata’ has started to be held on Cox’s Bazar and other sea beaches in Bangladesh! It’s a very cool scene now! We should protect our earth, and these creeping plats too, for its normal breeding out!
Our ‘Slogan’ always should be “Save the earth! And save our planet!”
You may be boring with long writing of me , so here I am ending up today!
Have a great day my all loving LGs!
Take care all my friends! Be safe, healthy and happy as well as smilingly always !
