ST.Martin's Iland

ST.Martin's Iland St. Martin's Island  ( Bengali :  সেন্ট মার্টিন্স দ্বীপ ) is a small island (area only 8 km 2 ) in the northeastern part of the  Bay of Bengal , about 9 km south of the tip of the  Cox's Bazar - Teknaf  peninsula, and forming the southernmost part of Bangladesh. There is a small adjoining island that is separated at high tide, called  Chera Dwip . It is about 8 kilometres (5 miles) west of the northwest coast of  Myanmar , at the mouth of the  Naf River . The first settlement started 250 years ago by Arabian sailors who named the island 'Jazeera'. During  British  occupation the island was named St. Martin Island. During the  First Anglo-Burmese War  between the British and Burmese empires in 1824–1826, rival claims to the island were a major factor. The local names of the island are "Narikel jinjira" [3]  which means 'Coconut Island' in  Bengali , and "Daruchini Dwip". It is the only  coral island  in Bangladesh
