Kuakata, locally known as Sagar Kannya (Daughter of Sea) is a rare scenic spot located on the southernmost tip of Bangladesh. Kuakata in Latachapli Union under Kalapara Police Station of Patuakhali district is about 30 km in length and 6 km in breadth. It is 70 km from Patuakhali district headquarters and 320 km from Dhaka. An excellent combination of the picturesque natural beauty sandy beaches, blue sky and the shimmering expanse of water of the bay of Bengal and the evergreen forest makes Kuakata a much sought after tourist destination.

The name Kuakata takes its origin from the story of ‘Kua’ - or well –dug on the seashore by the early Rakhaine settlers for collecting drinking water. The Rakhanies had landed on Kuakata coast after being expelled from Arakan by the Mughals. Following the first well, it became a traditional to dig wells in the neighborhood of Rakhaine homeless for fresh water supply.

Kuakata is one of the unique spots which allow a visitor to watch both the sunrise and the sunset from the beach. That perhaps makes Kuakata one of the world’s most attractive beaches. The long and wide beach at Kuakata has a typical natural setting. The sandy beach slopes gently into the Bay and bathing there is as pleasant as is swimming or diving.

Fishing boats plying in the Bay of Bengal with colorful sails, surfing waves and the lines of coconut trees add to the vibrant colors of Kuakata. The indigenous culture of the Rakhaine community and hundred year old Buddhist temples indicate the age-old tradition and cultural heritage of this area.
