From Kuakata Zero Point (the main tourist area), head east along the beach. Monir Point is located 'down sea,' meaning you should walk eastwards along the shoreline. The walk takes approximately 20-30 minutes, depending on your pace. Use the line of ঝাউবন (Jhau Bon, or ঝাউ forest) as a general guide, keeping it on your left. Be mindful of the tide; at high tide, the walk might be partially submerged, requiring you to wade through shallow water. There are no specific costs involved.
