Chera Dip, Bangladesh

^{Wonderful Chera Dip}

Chera Dip is a truly special place, known as the southernmost point of Bangladesh. Beyond its geographical importance, the island is famous for its breathtaking natural beauty, which attracts countless travelers every year.

^{Before starting our journey to Chera Dip}

^{Travelling by boat}

^{Lonely beach area}

The name Chera Dip comes from the fact that it is a separate island detached from Saint Martin’s Island. Visitors can reach Chera Dip by motorcycle, bicycle, boat, or speedboat. We chose to go by speedboat, which made the journey quick and exciting.

^{Beautiful sky}

The round-trip fare was 500 BDT per person. The crystal-clear blue water, coral beds, and stunning views of the sea instantly caught our attention. One interesting fact is that there is no jetty on the island. Boats and speedboats cannot go very close because of the coral reefs.

^{This place was looking stunning. I sat there to enjoy the moment and take some pictures}

To reach the shore, we had to walk through knee-deep seawater from the beach. We moved very carefully, as sharp corals can easily cut feet. We started our journey around 3:00 PM and reached the island by about 3:30 PM.

^{Enjoying the environment of the beach just befor the evening}

^{Enjoying beautiful sunset}

We spent a long time walking around and exploring the island until sunset. The island is filled with coconut trees, and no one lives there permanently. Since Chhera Dwip is separated from Saint Martin’s Island, it submerges under water during high tide, which makes permanent settlement impossible.

^{There were countless coral stones.}

^{It was an incredible view of the beach}

^{There were some coconut seller on the beach}

The island is mainly covered with coral stones, rocks, coconut gardens, and mangrove-like keora forests. Various birds can be seen here, and the area is rich in marine life. The transparent bluish water reveals beautiful coral formations beneath the surface. We enjoyed roaming around the island until evening.

^{Walking near these plants was an amazing experience}

^{When we were returning to the Saint Martin beach}

^{Sunset view}

After sunset, we headed back toward Saint Martin’s Island. It usually takes 20–25 minutes to travel between Saint Martin’s and Chhera Dwip. In my opinion, the best time to explore Saint Martin’s and Chera Dip is in the afternoon, staying until sunset
