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 allows 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.
