Kattali Sea Beach is a little-known but very scenic beach located in Chittagong, Bangladesh. It is situated about 8 kilometers from Chittagong city, beside Zohur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Pahartali Thana. Locally, it is also called Jele Para Sea Beach or Jailla Para. The beach is popular for its tranquil environment, mangrove forest, and the lifestyle of local fishermen.[1][2]
Description
Kattali Sea Beach is a relatively quiet beach where the vastness of the sea, the greenery of nature, and the lifestyle of fishermen blend together. Compared to other sea beaches, it is less commercialized, allowing the natural scenic beauty to be felt more vividly. Alongside the beach are several fish markets (such as Machhpotty, Ilishghat, and Ranighat Fish Market), where fishermen sell fish every day. During the monsoon season, the view of the beach becomes even more enchanting.[3]
