The world's longest beach, done properly
Sunrise at Laboni, seafood at Jhawtola, and why Himchari beats the crowded strip.
The seafood lane at Jhawtola runs on a simple system: the catch is on ice out front, you point, they grill. The only skill is agreeing the price before the fish leaves the ice.
Rupchanda should run ৳350–450 a plate grilled with masala. Lobster is the tourist tax — beautiful, but crab at a third of the price is the better plate.
