The Malabar Coast, in historical contexts, refers to India’s southwestern coast, lying on the narrow coastal plain of Karnataka and Kerala states between the Western Ghats range and the Arabian Sea.The coast runs from south of Goa to Kanyakumari on India’s southern tip.

The Coromandel Coast is the southeastern coast region of the Indian Subcontinent, between the Eastern Ghats and the Bay of Bengal of the Indian Ocean.
