St. Martin's, a small continental island in the Bay of Bengal, is located on the southernmost tip of Bangladesh separated from the mainland by a channel which is about 9 km wide.

The north portion of the island is called “Cheradia Dwip” because during high tide, this portion of the island is separated from the other and also considered as the last southern landmark of Bangladesh.
