Saint Martin’s Island

The island used to belong to Myanmar. After India and Myanmar got independence from Britain, the island got annexed into India. The first settlement started 250 years ago by Arabian sailors who named the island ‘Jazeera’. During British occupation the island was named after the then Deputy Commissioner of Chittagong Mr. Martin as St. Martin Island.[3] The local names of the island are “Narikel jinjira”[4] which means ‘Coconut Island’ in Bengali, and “Daruchini Dwip” which means “Cinnamon island” in Bengali. It is the only coral island in Bangladesh.

Cox’s Bazar

Cox’s Bazar Sea beach, Bangladesh is one of the most-visited tourist destinations in Southeast Asia. Travelers, in general, know little that it is the longest “natural Sand” beach in the world. Golden sand stretched for miles and miles, cliffs hanging, rushing sound of the waves, flamboyant pagodas, Buddhist temples and tribes, occasional conch shells, enjoyable seafood, this is the tourist capital of Bangladesh.
