Travel Bangladesh | St Martin’s Island

St Martin’s Island is the country’s only coral island and its beaches do actually match the hype.The boat trip over here is as interesting as it is scenic. Look out for traditional fishing boats as you sail along the Myanmar coastline. And get your camera ready for some magical sunset shots on the return trip. Monirul Alam | http://www.monirulalam.net
