Patenga is a popular tourist spot in Bangladesh

Patenga is a popular tourist spot. The beach is very close to the Bangladesh Naval Academy of the Bangladesh Navy and Shah Amanat International Airport. Its width is narrow and swimming in the seas is not recommended.

Part of the seashore is built-up with concrete walls, and large blocks of stones have been laid to prevent erosion. Lighting of the area has enhanced the security aspect of visiting at night
