Pro Tips
Wear sturdy, waterproof sandals for Tajpur to navigate the "Bheris" (fishery ponds) and muddy inlets that characterize this deltaic coast.
Verify ferry schedules for Sagar Island daily; the Muri Ganga river’s silt levels often cause last-minute cancellations of the larger vessels.
Factor in the "Tide Lock" at Mandarmani; the beach is the only access road to many resorts, and you cannot drive your car when the tide is high.
Note that swimming is generally discouraged in Bakkhali due to the high silt content and proximity to the churning Sunderbans delta currents.
Be cautious of muddy water reducing visibility and current strength.
Carry a waterproof bag to protect valuables from sand and saltwater.
