St. Martin’s Island is Bangladesh’s sole coral island. Because of the abundance of coconut palms on the island, it is known as “Narikel Zinzira” in Bengali, which translates to “Coconut Island.” The island is located 9 kilometres south of Cox’s Bazar. It is wonderful to walk along pristine beaches and swim in clean water. A boat ride to Chhera Dwip, a small island near St. Martin’s, is available.
