Moheshkhali Island

About

Moheshkhali is a short boat ride from Cox's Bazar, known for Adinath Temple hill, quieter shoreline stretches and a different pace from the main beach town.

Moheshkhali offers day-trip contrast to Cox's Bazar: a small hill with the Adinath Temple, coastal walks and glimpses of mangrove and fishing life. Boats usually leave from Cox's Bazar jetty areas — schedules depend on tide and weather.

Facilities are simpler than the mainland resort strip. Combine with Inani/Himchari on a broader Cox's Bazar itinerary rather than rushing the same afternoon.
