Gulf of Kutch

Gulf of Kutch - Marine National ParkLocated along the west coast of India, Gulf of Kutch is an inlet of the Arabian Sea in the Jamnagar district of Gujarat. It is positioned between 22º15`- 23º40`North latitude and 68º20`- 70º40`East longitude and separates the Kathiawar Peninsula from the Rann of Kutch. It stretches for 99 miles and is famous for the coral reefs surrounding the thirty-two islands. A unique feature of this region is the tidal range, which generates fast currents of about 2.5 m per second. The area is well connected by rail and roadways to the major places in India. The nearest airport is at Jamnagar.

The area is covered with mangrove forests and algal beds. The area is the habitat of a variety of marine animals and therefore the area has a marine sanctuary and marine national park. Some of the other major attractions in the vicinity are Willingdon Crescent, Lakhota Fort and Kotha Bastion, Bala Hanuman Temple, and the Jain temples.
