Cox's Bazaar is located along a coastline in southeast Bangladesh. The plain land appears to protrude into the Bay of Bengal when viewed from above. There is a significant expanse of beach and dunes along the shore. Most of Cox's Bazaar is situated on a floodplain with a lower height than the dunes. As a result, the town is particularly vulnerable to flooding brought on by storms and cyclones.
The current sea level in Cox's Bazaar was reached after around 6,500 years. The coastal plain land developed after the sea rose to its current level. The existing floodplain was once a sediment sink, but over time, the Bakkhali River, rainfall, and smaller streams pouring down from the hills filled it in.
