*India's Coast* .




The 7516.6 km long Indian coastline covers nearly 6100 km of the continent’s land area, along with the islands of Andaman, Nicobar, and Lakshadweep. 13 states and Union Territories are located along India’s coastline.

The eastern coastal plains are situated along the Bay of Bengal, whereas the western coastal plains are along the Arabian Sea.

Kutch and Kathiawar coast: The coasts of Kutch and Kathiawar were created by the sediments deposited by the Indus River. Kutch was formerly a gulf. During the monsoons, the Kutch region is separated into the Great Rann in the north and the Little Rann in the east by shallow water. Kathiawar, on the other hand, is located south of Kutch.

Konkan coast: It stretches from Goa in the south to Daman in the north. The two main crops in this area are cashews and rice.

Kannada coast: It stretches between Marmagaon and Mangalore and is known as the Kannada coast.

Malabar coast: The comparatively broad Malabar coast stretches from Mangalore to Kanyakumari.
