The
Gulf Coast region of the United States
comprises the coasts of states which border the
Gulf of Mexico. The states of Texas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida are known as
the Gulf States. All Gulf States are located in
the Southern region of the United
States.
The
Gulf Coast is intersected by numerous rivers,
the largest of which is the Mississippi. Land
along the Gulf Coast tends to be low and flat,
and much of it is (or was) marshland. The
western portions of the Gulf Coast include many
barrier islands and peninsulas, including the
130 mile (210 km) Padre Island and Galveston
Island. These landforms protect numerous bays
and inlets. The central part of the Gulf Coast,
from eastern Texas through Louisiana, consists
primarily of marshland. Even though it is a
gulf, geographically it is technically part of
the east coast of the US, even though it is not
popularly thought of as such.
