Discover more about Kuakata Sea Beach Zero Point

Kuakata Sea Beach, fondly called 'Sagor Kannya' or Daughter of the Sea, is located on the southernmost tip of Bangladesh in the Patuakhali district. This 18-kilometer sandy expanse offers a unique spectacle: unobstructed views of both sunrise and sunset over the Bay of Bengal. The name 'Kuakata' originates from the Bengali word 'Kua' (well), referring to the wells dug by early Rakhine settlers who arrived in the 18th century after being expelled from Arakan (Myanmar). These wells provided a source of drinking water, and the tradition of digging wells continues in the Rakhine neighborhoods. Kuakata is a place of pilgrimage for Hindus and Buddhists, with devotees gathering for holy baths during Rush Purnima and Maghi Purnima festivals. A 100-year-old Buddhist temple houses a Gautama Buddha statue and two 200-year-old wells, adding to the cultural richness of the area. Beyond the beach, visitors can explore Kuakata National Park, Jhau Forest, Fatrar Char, and Gangamati Reserved Forest. These natural attractions offer opportunities for bird watching, boat trips, and cultural tours to Rakhine villages.
