- Coral-studded rock stretch — Inani’s signature: miles of flat, dark-green and black stones that look almost painted. Walk the rock plates at low tide, poke into tide pools and get shots you won’t find on the sand-only beaches. Not great after dark (slippery and sharp), so do this in daylight.
- Long, quiet walks and dramatic sunsets — The beach is much less crowded than central Cox’s Bazar, so you can walk for kilometers without running into souvenir stalls. The combination of sand and rocky outcrops makes sunsets particularly dramatic. Staying until after dusk is worthwhile for basic stargazing and a very peaceful night shoreline.
- Fresh, local seafood on the beach edge — Small family-run stalls and cooks on the fringe sell whatever came in that morning: grilled fish, prawns, simple fried

- Fresh, local seafood on the beach edge — Small family-run stalls and cooks on the fringe sell whatever came in that morning: grilled fish, prawns, simple fried preparations. It’s about freshness and flavor rather than fancy presentation — bring cash, maybe hand sanitizer, and ask how it was caught if you care about sustainability.
- Rock-pool wildlife and basic snorkeling/boat dips — The rocky reef areas concentrate small marine life: crabs, blennies, starfish and colourful algae. At higher tides locals run short boat trips or let you snorkel near the rocks — conditions vary with weather, so check with someone local before jumping in.
- Landscape photography and low-key overnighting — The mix of long shoreline, rocky formations and changing light makes for excellent landscape work (bring a wide lens and a neutral-density filter if you have one). If you want night time, simple guesthouses and village homestays nearby let you sleep close to the beach and return for early-morning light or late-night star photos — respect local rules and don’t leave trash behind.
