Kattoli Beach is an attractive beach on the southern side of the Dhaka-Chittagong highway, a little away from Chittagong city. This beach in South Kattali Ward of Pahartali Police Station is unknown to many. Another name of this beach is Jelepara Beach. Here you can see the lifestyle of fishermen very closely and if you want you can buy fish from them.
Beach on one side and rural environment on the other cannot be found in any other beach. And most of all it will be nice to see many birds in Keora forest here. And one can spend a day sitting inside this Keora forest listening to the gentle breeze and roar of the sea. Sea birds are usually seen on the beach. In addition to sea birds, the beaches here are dominated by birds such as pigeons, woodpeckers, pigeons, bhat shaliks, khanjana. So Kattoli Beach is undoubtedly a unique beach.

Hilsa is widely found in Bangladesh from the Bay of Bengal to our rivers. They’re the tastiest of all fishes – rich in fat & flavor. Bangladesh has three kinds of Hilsa. The most famous species which we call Padma Ilish is called Tenualosa Ilisha. Just cut them into thin slices, apply some spices & herbs, & fry them in mustard oil. Serve them will fried onions & warm rice. You will never forget the amazing taste!! We are proud of this fantastic fish. It is our own wealth.

Giant fishing net is being lifted slowly to retrieve the catch ... further sequential shots are in the subsequent comment boxes
These fishermen lives on the very least they get from the dying river called Jamuna. Once known as a mightily river across India and Bangladesh has very less to offer to these guys. In the off season when I got this photo, usually these two can net around 3 to 5 kilograms of ELISH (Local name of Hilsha Fish). They get at best around USD 6 for the whole day to feed and live the two families of 8 members. without much complains, this is an inspiring exhibition of living on the least..
The Padma (Bengali: পদ্মা Pôdda) is a major trans-boundary river in Bangladesh. It is the main distributary of the Ganges (Bengali: গঙ্গা Gôngga), which originates in the Himalaya. The Padma enters Bangladesh from India near Chapai Nababganj. It meets the Jamuna (Bengali: যমুনা Jomuna) near Aricha and retains its name, but finally meets with the Meghna (Bengali: মেঘনা) near Chandpur and adopts the name 'Meghna' before flowing into the Bay of Bengal.

The life on both sides of the river Padma depends a lot upon the grace of the river as it is the source of food and living (Both by the means of fish and irrigation). Hilsha, the national fish of Bangladesh are caught in plenty during summer and rainy season from this river. However, due to climate change, this river is suffering emmencely. The water scarcely reduces during the dry season and on the other hand it overflows during the monsoon causing flood and leaving thousands of people homeless. Still, the importance of this river for the survival of the people around is beyond imagination and the life around it goes on as it has for centuries.

Kuakata Sea Beach , Patuakhali , Barisal , Bangladesh
Kuakata (Bengali: কুয়াকাটা) is a panoramic sea beach on the southernmost tip of Bangladesh. Located in the Patuakhali district, Kuakata has a wide sandy beach from where one can see both the sunrise and sunset. It is about 320 Kilometers south of Dhaka, the capital, and about 70 Kilometers from the district headquarters. The Kuakata beach is 30 km long and 6 km wide. On 13 September 2007 government had announced a red alert in Kuakata as caution for a possible Tsunamwater, who landed on Kuakata coast in the eighteenth century after being expelled from Arakan (Myanmar) by the Mughals. Afterwards, it has become a tradition of digging Well in the neighborhoods of Rakhaine tribes for water.
Kuakata offers a full view of the sunrise and sunset from the same white sandy beach in the water of the Bay of Bengal
The name Kuakata originated from the word 'Kua'-the Bengali word for “Well” which was dug on the sea shore by the early Rakhine settlers in quest of collecting drinking water .
Locally known as Shagor Kannya (Daughter of the Sea), the long strip of dark, marbled sand stretches for about 30 km. The long and wide beach at Kuakata has a typical natural setting. This sandy beach has gentle slopes into the Bay of Bengal. Kuakata is also a sanctuary for migratory winter birds.
On the eastern end of the beach is Gongamati Reserved Forest, an evergreen mangrove forest and snippet of the original Kuakata. When the Rakhines settled in the area in 1784, Kuakata was part of the larger Sundarbans forest. However, the Sundarbans is now at a distance of one-hour by speed boat. As a mangrove forest, Gongamati, like the Sundarbans, offers some protection against tidal surges, however it too is being threatened by logging and deforestation. The best way to reach the forest is by foot or bike along the beach, where a flock of flag flying fishing boats can be seen trawling the coast. Choosing to visit Gangamati in the late afternoon is a perfect time to watch the sun caste shadows on the abstract exposed mangrove roots.
Kuakata is the place of pilgrimage for both Hindu and Buddhist communities. Innumerable devotees arrive here at the festival of 'Rush Purnima' and 'Maghi Purnima'. On these two occasions the pilgrims take holy bath at the bay and participate in the traditional fairs. One may also visit the 100 years old Buddhist Temple where the statue of Goutama Buddha and two wells of 200 years old are located.
Fisherman village is another place where you can visit and watch the lifestyle of the fisherman. If you are adventurous you may also go for fishing on the fishing boat if you can manage the local fishermen. That will give you pleasure and experience, which you won’t be able to gather from anywhere else. In the fishermen village you will find the fishermen coming back from the sea and you can purchase some fresh hilsha fish from them, and by the side of village there are some local restaurants where you can get the Hilshas cooked and ready for eating.
The government and local business owners have made significant developments over the years to attract tourist to its shores. Nowadays, local people are more supportive to the tourists and communications have improved significantly. A new Police station was built in 2007. Accordingly, the law and order situation in the open beach, even at night, has improved significantly.
