Guntur Coast

Guntur Coast is the coastal region of Guntur District. It is on the east coast region of India. The length of the Guntur coast line is around 100KM.

Introduction

Guntur Coast Line is typical of the wider deltas along the southeast coast of India (also known as the Coromandel Coast) (quotes from NASA site [ [http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/sseop/EFS/photoinfo.pl?PHOTO=STS032-72-61 Earth from Space - Image Information ] ] ). Krishna merges into the ocean in the Guntur Coast. The braided stream channels, broad floodplain, and extensive sandbars suggest that this part of the Krishna River flows through relatively flat terrain and carries substantial amounts of sediment, especially during the monsoon season. The closest city of the Guntur coast is Guntur City.
