Saint Martin, the only coral island located in Bangladesh is located in Teknaf Police Station in Cox’s Bazar the district that is the southernmost of Bangladesh. It is situated within the Bay of Bengal, about 9-10 kilometers south of Teknaf. The island isn’t very big, at just 8 square kilometers, and its population is estimated at 6500-8500.
The first thing to think of with the island is its natural beauty and its peace. It is among the very few places that allow you to enjoy an uninhibited and quiet day since there aren’t any automobiles, motorized buses, or motorbikes for public services, such as Nijhum Island or Kuakata. Therefore, at the very least, you can be in a quiet place when one is lost in a flurry of interest there is no chance of hearing the horn of a vehicle arriving and wrecking everything on the island.
The initial name of Saint Martin Island was Narzil Jazira or Jinjira. The term Jinjira originates from the word Jira. The word Jinjira refers to a peninsula, and the word Narkil refers to coconut. There were a lot of coconut trees on the island. This is the reason this island has been referred to as Narikel Jinjira. According to geologists, the island is two millennia old. The problem of swaying the waist won’t disappear.

To sum up
“Despite being aware of the impact of our actions, we still harm nature in various ways while traveling. My only wish is that we leave nature as it is. If we can benefit from it and enjoy it, that’s great, but we should not cause any harm in the process.”
