The Western Coastal plain lies between Kerala and Gujarat and stretches from the Arabian Sea to the Western Ghats. The total length of the western coasts is 1400 kilometers and its width varies from 10 kilometers to 80 kilometers. The elevation of the land ranges from 150m to 300m above sea level.  The most important characteristics of the Western Coastal Plain are sandy beaches, coastal sand-dunes, mud-flats, lagoons, alluvial tracts, estuaries, lateritic -platforms and residual hills.
On the west coast, we have coastal plains of Gujarat and the coasts of the Peninsular India between Western Ghats and Arabian Sea.  We divide the west coast into these three parts Coasts and Coastal Plains of Gujarat, Konkan Coast and Malabar Coast


The Eastern Coastal Plains is a wide stretch of landmass of India, lying between the Eastern Ghats and the Bay of Bengal. It is wider and leveled than the western coastal plains and stretches from Tamil Nadu in the south to West Bengal in the north through Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. Chilka Lake is a brackish water lake along the eastern coastal plain. It lies in the state of Odisha and stretches to the south of the MahanadiDelta.
Deltas of many of India's rivers form a major portion of these plains. The Mahanadi, Godavari, Kaveri and Krishna rivers drain these plains. The region receives both the Northeast & Southwest monsoon rains with its annual rainfall averaging between 1,000 and 3,000 mm (39 and 118 in). The width of the plains varies between 100 and 120 km (62 to 80 miles).
It is locally known as Utkal Plains in the Northern part between Kangsabati and Rushikulya Rivers, Northern Circars in the Central part between Rushikulya and Krishna Rivers and, as Coromandel Coast in the Southern part from the south of river Krishnatill the Southern tip of Mainland India at Cape Comorin where it merges with the Western Coastal Plains.
