The Gulf of Khambhat (
formerly known as the Gulf of Cambay) is an inlet of the
Arabian Sea along the west coast of
India, in the state of
Gujarat. It is about 80 miles in length, and divides the
Kathiawar peninsula to the west from the eastern part of Gujarat state on the east. The
Narmada and
Tapti rivers empty into the Gulf. The Gulf is shallow and abounds in shoals and sandbanks. The Gulf is known for its extreme
tides, which vary greatly in height and run into it with amazing speed. At low tide the bottom is left nearly dry for some distance below the town of Khambhat.
