Chera Dwip (Chhera Island) is the southernmost land of Bangladesh. It is located about 5 kilometers south of St. Martin, the coral island. To the locals, the island is also known as ‘Chheradia’ or ‘Syradiya’. The Chera island is full of natural stone, coral and coconut trees. During the high tide, one-third of the island submerge under the sea. When the blue wave of the sea is rubbed on the stone, it creates a beautiful scene in the Chhera Island. The area of Chhera Island is nearly 3 KM. In the late 2000s, the island was discovered. Every year thousands of tourists visit the Chhera island to see the Blue Sea, the sky and the sunset. Along with the light of the moon, it creates a magical fascination. So many people come to camping on the night of this wonderful island.
As Chhera Dwip is at the very side of St. Martins Island, it needs to visit St. Martins Island first. From Dhaka, there are many buses for Teknaf. You can visit Teknaf from Cox’s Bazar as well. Then using ships, you have to go St. Martins. Then by walking during the low tide, or using speed boat or engine boat during the high tide, you can go to Chhera Dwip.
