<P> The bridge is 50 km ( 30 mi ) long and separates the Gulf of Mannar ( south - west ) from the Palk Strait ( northeast ) . Some of the sandbanks are dry and the sea in the area is very shallow , being only 1 to 10 metres ( 3 to 30 ft ) deep in places , which hinders navigation . It was reportedly passable on foot up to the 15th century until storms deepened the channel : temple records seem to say that Adam 's Bridge was completely above sea level until it broke in a cyclone in 1480 . </P>
