Kuakata Sea Beach
Kuakata beach is a beautiful beach in the southern part of Bangladesh. It is located in Patuakhali district of Barisal Division. It is known as the 'daughter of the sea'. It is believed that in the 18th century, the Arakans migrated to this region from Burma after being driven out by the Mughal rulers. They dug a lot of wells (Kua in Bengali) to meet the need of drinking water. Probably the name Kuakata has been derived from digging of Kua.

This is the only beach in Bangladesh from where you can watch both sunrise and sunset on the sea. I visited this place back in 2003. Although a great tourist spot, I believe this place needs more maintenance.
