How to get to Kuakata

One needs to travel by road to get to Kuakata from the capital Dhaka or by launch or air to Barisal and then to Kuakata by bumpy road. The other route could be a launch trip to district headquarter Patuakhali and then by road to Kuakata which is just 70km away from the district town but the road is real bumpy to get to Kuakata, the only place on Earth from where anyone can have the glimpse of both sunrise and sunset from the same beach, which can no way be done from any other place in the world. And this is the key attraction of Kuakata along with serenity of nature.

There are launch and bus services available for reaching Barisal or Patuakhali from Dhaka and then by road to Kuakata. But still there is no direct bus or launch services to reach Kuakata and this typical travel hassle has still kept Kuakata the virgin and less crowdie for enjoying the bounty of nature.

From Patuakhali or Barisal, the rundown buses render daily trip to Kuakata. This trip takes about 5-6 hours due to real bad and bumpy ride to Kuakata. For reaching the Sagor Kanya from Barisal there are 5 ferries too, which could be availed for reaching the virgin beach averting the bumpy road.
