St. Martin is a small and the only coral island in Bangladesh.

It is in the northeastern part of the Bay of Bangle. 8km² area and it has only 4000 population. St. Martin's people belive that if St. Martin sinks whole world will sink too. Rickshaws are available there or if you want you can roam around by yourself, one beach to another. You can stay there in these hotels.

The best time to go to Saint Martin is winter, October to February. At this time the sea remain calm and the sun feels nice. During summer weather become too hot and there may be storms too. The island is closed to visitors in May-August.
Dhaka to Saint Martin you need to make this trip in 2 steps – first you have to reach Teknaf by road and then you will need to get on a “sea truck” or small ship to go to Saint Martin from Teknaf. You can reach Teknaf directly from Dhaka or you can have a pit stop at Cox’s Bazar and resume your journey towards Teknaf the next morning. Transportation from Dhaka to Cox’s Bazar is very good. You can go there by bus, train or air. If you want to go directly to Teknaf from Dhaka there are a few bus services who offer this service – Hanif Enterprise and Soudia Paribahan are among these. These buses will take direct to cox's bazaar.

Keari Sindabad Ship. Is new ship from Teknaf to St. Martin and it's pretty good.
