Lebur Char

Lebur Char, sometimes called Lebur Bon, lies about 5 km west of Kuakata's Zero Point, where the beach meets the mouth of a river channel facing the Fatrar Char forest. A patch of coastal forest and the tangled roots of mangrove trees give the place a different character from the open main beach.

In the late afternoon visitors gather on the sand to watch the sun sink beyond the river mouth and the forest across the water. Swarms of red crabs dart into their holes as you approach. Simple stalls grill crabs, prawns and fish to order, and a watchtower offers a wider view. It is also a convenient point for trawler trips across to Fatrar Char.

How to go

From Kuakata Zero Point take a motorbike or auto west along the beach road (≈15-20 min, 150-300 BDT return).

Where to stay

Stay in Kuakata town (1,000-20,000 BDT).

Travel tips: Agree on seafood prices by weight before it is cooked. Arrive an hour before sunset for a good spot.
