Sonadia Island is a sanctuary for migratory birds such as petrels, snipe, shanks, lapwings, geese and ducks and other waterfowl. According to legend, a ship laden with gold sunk here centuries ago during an attack by Portuguese pirates and an island formed around the shipwreck. It is only seven kilometer from Cox's Bazar and about nine square kilometer in area.

The western side of the island is sandy and different kinds of shells are found on the beach. Off the northern part of the island, there are beds of window pane oysters.

It was once renowned for pink pearls, but more profitable commercial fishing has seen this tradition slowly fade away. During the winter, the fisherman set up camp. And dry their catches of sea fish.

বিভিন্ন অতিথি পাখি এবং জলচর পাখির একটি অভয়ারণ্য হল সোনাদিয়া দ্বীপ। এখানে আসা পাখিদের মধ্যে রয়েছেঃ পেট্রেল, স্নাইপ, শ্যাঙ্ক, তিতির এবং নানা জাতের হাঁস। কথায় আছে যে কয়েকশ বছর পূর্বে পর্তুগীজ জলদস্যুদের হামলায় এখানে একটি স্বর্ণবোঝাই জাহাজ ডুবে যায় এবং পরবর্তীতে জাহাজের ধ্বংসস্তূপকে ঘিরে একটি দ্বীপ জেগে ওঠে। প্রায় নয় বর্গ কিলোমিটার আয়তনের এই দ্বীপটি কক্সবাজার থেকে মাত্র ৭ কিলোমিটার দূরে অবস্থিত।

দ্বীপের পশ্চিম দিকটি বালুময় এবং এখানকার সৈকতে বিভিন্ন ধরনের শামুক পাওয়া যায় এবং উত্তরদিকে প্রচুর ঝিনুক পাওয়া যায়।

একসময় গোলাপি মুক্তার জন্য এই দ্বীপের খ্যাতি ছিল তবে মুনাফালোভী ব্যবসায়ীদের কারনে গোলাপি মুক্তার ঐতিহ্য বিলীন হয়ে গিয়েছে। শীতকালে এখানে জেলেরা ঘাঁটি গাড়ে এবং তাদের ধরা মাছ শুটকি বানানোর জন্য শুকাতে দেয়।
