Walking along the beach itself is a popular way to explore different areas. Expect a 10-20 minute walk from Hotel Motel Zone to Laboni Beach. Be mindful of the hot sand during midday; sandals or footwear are recommended.

  • Public Transport

Buses also operate on main routes, offering an even cheaper option. Look for local buses heading towards ইনানী Beach or টেকনাফ if you're traveling further south.
