Adam's Bridge Marine National Park

Adam's Bridge Marine National Park, located near a tiny peninsula extending out into the Indian Ocean, features a stunning mix of habitats for tourists to explore. The marine park is built around Adam's Bridge, which is made up of a chain of low-lying shoals; evidence suggests that this chain formerly connected Sri Lanka to the Indian mainland. It has always been a famous location, and it is even referenced in the Ramayana, one of India's oldest and most renowned classics. Because of its proximity to India, birds migrate north and south along the chain of shoals, making it a significant resting spot for them.

The national park provides a sanctuary for a variety of animals, including reefs right off the coast, fine silky beaches, and low-lying scrubland. While there are many birds in the region, it is the dolphins, turtles, and dugong that pass by the coast that provide the most unforgettable sight.
