St. Martin's Island is a land of great beauty. There is a different feeling inside Bangladesh. St. Martin is the only coral island in Bangladesh where there is a wonderful touch of blue water and blue of the sky. St. Martin's Island is a small island of 16 sq km in the southernmost part of the mainland and 120 km from the district town of Cox's Bazar. In the local language, St. Martin is also called Coconut Ginger. The island is one of the most beautiful tourist destinations in Bangladesh. Combining the blue sky with the blue water of the sea, rows and rows of coconut trees have made this island unique.
