Presently, Cox's Bazar is nearly devoid of travellers. However, hundreds of individuals who are fasting gather for iftar every day as the sun sets on the world's longest beach. Iftar is celebrated under the sea's waves with loved ones, family, and close friends. A few others took a seat close to the wave's tip. There are many flower decorations that add colour to the occasion.
 
It would appear as though the whole beach has been set aside for Iftar if you witness the sight right before Iftar.
 
Every day since Ramadan began, hundreds of Muslims family have been observed breaking Iftar on the beaches between Cox's Bazar and Teknaf, the border city.
Due to the fact that Cox's Bazar is seldom visited by visitors during the holy month of Ramadan, travel vendors said that the beach landscape has changed. Nowhere is there any human movement.
 
Director of Sendi Beach Restaurant Abdur Rahman stated that there are a lot of Iftar orders for Sendi Beach. While some are dining in the restaurant for iftar, others are taking in the beauty of the beach.
 
Speaking with the youth who attended Iftar by the sea, they mentioned that, following a full day of fasting, Iftar might be even more uncomfortable in the stuffy settings of restaurants and hotels. They are rushing to the seashore with their iftar feast because of this.
When iftar is held on the beach, a nice ambiance is produced. However, iftar takes a horrible turn later. becomes a heap of trash. To quench their thirst, the refined pilgrims and the young ladies depart from the beach scene. Dustbins are placed on the beach to collect plastic garbage that was used to transport water bottles, food scraps, and Iftar materials. The wastes were formerly mingled with the tidal water in the sea. As a result, both the sea's pollution and the beach's attractiveness are being destroyed.
 
Cox's Bazar and other regions of the nation have been experiencing a modest heat wave for the past several days. Sweating occurs at night, and heat is noticed throughout the day.
According to the Meteorological Office, there will be more clouds in the sky and a rise in temperature. The number of people having Iftar on the beach is rising daily along with the warmth.
 
Jahangir Alam, General Secretary of Cox's Bazar Sadar Upazila Branch of Bangladesh Environment Movement, said there is nothing wrong with breaking Iftar. But action needs to be taken against those who pollute the beach by throwing garbage at the end of Iftar.
