Adam's Bridge Marine National Park, Marine national park in Northern Province, Sri Lanka
The national park spans 18,990 hectares, featuring limestone shoals that form a natural bridge connecting Pambalm Island in India to Mannar Island.
The park received national park status on June 22, 2015, following recommendations from the Integrated Strategic Environmental Assessment of Northern Province.
The geological formation holds importance in the Ramayana epic, where it served as a crossing point between India and Sri Lanka.
Visitors can reach the park by taking the Medawachchiya-Talaimannar Highway from Mannar and following Beach Road for approximately 30 kilometers.
The shallow waters between sand dunes range from 1 to 10 meters deep and support dugongs, sea turtles, and brown noddy nesting grounds.
