Kuakata, locally known as Sagar Kannya (Daughter of the 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 a 'Kua' or 'well'-dug on the sea shore by the early Rakhaine settlers for collecting drinking water.  The Rakhaines had landed on Kuakata coast after being expelled from Arakan by the Mughals. Following the first well,  it became a tradition to dig wells in the neighborhood of Rakhaine homesteads 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. This sandy beach slopes gently into the Bay and bathing there is as pleasant as is swimming or diving.  Kuakata is truly a virgin beach and a sanctuary for migratory winter birds. Fishing boats plying in the Bay of Bengal  with colourful sails, surfing waves and the lines of coconut trees add to the vibrant colours 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.  Kuakata is also a holy land for the Hindus and Buddhists. Each year thousands of devotees come here to attend the  festivals Rash Purnima and Maghi Purnima. On these two days, Pilgrims take holy bath and enjoy going to the  traditional fairs
