This is about 100 kms long (Najirartek at the north to Badar Mokam south at Shahporirdwip) sandy beach with boulder habitat in intertidal zone at some points. At the east of the beach and plain cultivated land up to Cox’s Bazar hilly forested area of semi evergreen type extends from Cox’s Bazar to Teknaf, although most of the forest area are degraded during the last decades severe deforestation. During the last 10 years beach front lands already been sold to resort developers, thus new threats are coming in future along the entire coast. Most of the southern part of the beach is full of fishing activity as well as gulls and terns also roost in many thousands. A large number of people living along this coast and around 600 boats are landed here in 22 deferent areas. Currently the tourism area increasing, but still there are large areas suitable for turtle nesting and wintering birds roosting. A number of village growth centers along the coast are in place. The average width of the peninsular beach is 100- 150m, and up to 400-500 m wide in some places. The sandy beaches are fringed with shore vegetation dominated by Ipomea. In addition, Nishinda (Vitex sp.) is present at Inani beach and few Screw Pine (Pandanus) jungles has been recorded along beaches.
