Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The Malabar coast is a long coastline along the southwestern region of India. Land in this region is usually flat and stretches in the states of Kerala and Karnataka between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea. The Malabar coast is famous for its lagoons and backwaters in Kerala, not Maharashtra. Kerala coast is well known for its lagoons, backwaters, bars and spits, long beaches and estuaries. These landforms are formed due to the marine erosion in Kerala due to the ocean. Vembanad is the largest lake in India, found in Kerala backwaters.
The correct statement would be that Vembanad lake in Kerala is known for its backwaters.
