The Indian peninsula
is surrounded by the Arabian Sea on the West, the Bay of Bengal on the
East and the Indian Ocean from the South. The Sahyadri hills have given
rise to the scenic beauty where the sea and hills meet. This has made
Konkan on the western coast a very rich and fertile land. While on the
eastern side, a wider area stretches between Bay of Bengal and Eastern
Ghats, called as the Coromandal Coast.
The Indian peninsula is made up of Gujarat,
Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Daman & Diu and Lakshadweep Islands
facing the Arabian Sea and West Bengal, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil
Nadu, Pondicherry and Andaman Nicobar Islands facing Bay of Bengal.
Of all Gujarat has the longest coastline. India is
endowed with several beautiful beaches, dotting its long coastline.
