Sea Mount Beach Café is one of the trendiest dining destinations along the Marine Drive, specifically located at the scenic Patuartek Beach (near Inani). Known for its vibrant, colorful decor and open-air design, it has earned a reputation as the “Bali of Cox’s Bazar” among social media enthusiasts. Unlike the traditional bamboo shacks, Sea Mount offers a more modern, festive atmosphere where the hills of Teknaf rise directly behind you and the coral-stone beach stretches out in front.
Why Eat Here? (Key Highlights)
-
The “Bali” Aesthetic: The café is designed with colorful umbrellas, wooden decks, and artistic lighting that mimics the beach clubs of Thailand or Bali. It is arguably one of the most “Instagrammable” spots on the entire Marine Drive.
-
Dual Views: Positioned at Patuartek, it offers a unique 360-degree visual experience—lush green hills on one side and the blue ocean with its signature coral rocks on the other.
-
Sunset Vibes: It is a prime location for watching the sunset. The atmosphere transforms in the evening with ambient lighting and music, making it a lively spot for groups and couples.
-
Fusion Menu: While most Marine Drive spots focus solely on BBQ fish, Sea Mount offers a broader menu including Continental steaks, pastas, and pizzas, catering to those who might want a break from rice and curry.
On The Menu
The menu is diverse, featuring Seafood, Bengali, and Continental sections:
-
Seafood Platter: A visually stunning platter featuring Grilled Lobster, Calamari (Squid), Prawns, and Crab, served with fries and special sauces.
-
Whole Fish BBQ: Fresh Coral (Vetki) or Red Snapper marinated in house spices and grilled over charcoal.
-
Continental Specials: They serve T-Bone Steaks, Pastas (Creamy/Oven Baked), and Pizzas, which is a rarity on this remote stretch of road.
-
Bangla Set Meals: For lunch, they offer traditional sets with plain rice, vhorta (mashes), and a choice of Rupchanda or Chicken Curry.
-
Refreshing Drinks: Fresh Green Coconut, Watermelon Juice, and Coffee are popular for quick stops.
