This coastal sub-district in Bangladesh's Barguna District, Patharghata sits on the Bay of Bengal and is home to Tentulia Wildlife Sanctuary — Bangladesh's second-largest mangrove forest after the Sundarbans, which lie in the wider region. The area supports an active marine fishing economy, with fish landing and wholesale trading facilities along the waterfront. The nearby Sundarbans, a UNESCO World Heritage site, adds further context for visitors drawn to the mangrove coastline of southern Bangladesh.
