Lord Rama built a bridge accross the ocean to reach lanka. You should checkout the NASA satellite discovery of it. The satellite actually pictured a bridge from the indian mainland to lanka. It is submerged now but visible from outer space. Check wikipedea for "Adam's Bridge" the euro centric name as they always do, or "Ram Setu" on any search engine!

Rama went with his army to the shore of the Indian ocean at the southern most tip of India and waited for the see god (Samudra Rajan) to appear and offer his help. But the ocean remained unmoved so after three days Rama stood up and put Brahmastra in his bow and was about to invoke the deity which will suck up the ocean and leave it bare to cross over. Samudra rajan seeing the danger came out and prostrated to Rama and offered his help by the way of holding the stone bridge to be build accross to Lanka. Rama excused him and commanded the engineers Nal and neela to start building the bridge. The vanaras (monkeys ) brough huge boulders and dropped it into the ocean
Nala and Neela wrote the name of Rama on them. The stones were floating in alignement and soon the bridge was ready.Rama crossed over with his army to Lanka.
authority Srmad valmiki and all other ramayanas.
A Bridge is called "Sethu" in sanskrit. Even today the devout Hindus go to the edge of the place from wher the Bridge was commenced and worship there.

Rama crosed the ocean by building a Bridge with the help of Vanara Sena

Rama decided that as long as the ocean was not bridged, it was impossible for any one but Hanuman to cross it. Rama meditated for three days, but in vain. In his anger at being so ignored, Rama turned his weapons against the ocean, until from the terrified waves arose Varuna, the god of the ocean, who promised him that if Nila and Nala from his army built a bridge, the waves should support the materials as firmly as though it were built on land.

Terror reigned in Lanka at the news of the approach of Rama. Vibishana, Ravana's brother, deserted to Rama, because of the demon's rage when he advised him to make peace with Rama. Fiercely fought battles ensued, in which even the gods took part--Vishnu and Indra taking sides with Rama, and the evil spirits fighting with Ravana.

After the war had been fought for some time, with varying results, and a great number of troops on both sides were killed, it was decided to determine the victor by single combat between Ravana and Rama. Even the gods were terrified at the fierceness of the conflict. At each shot Rama's mighty bow cut off a head of Ravana, which at once grew back, and the hero was in despair until Vibhishana told him to aim at Ravana's belly-button. Rama took careful aim.

Jaamvant called Nal and Neel and told them their childhood story. He said - "Keep remembering Raam, building the bridge will not be difficult." Then he called all monkeys and asked them to meditate Raam and bring trees and rocks. All monkeys and bears rushed, started bringing trees and rocks and gave them to Nal and Neel. Nal and Neel started to build the bridge out of those trees and rocks.

Seeing the bridge Raam said - "This is a beautiful place. Its importance cannot be described. I wish to establish Shambhoo here." Many monkeys went and called some Muni. Raam established Shambhoo's Ling and worshipped Him methodically. He said - "Nobody else is as dear to me as Shiv. Who is enemy of Shiv and claims to be my Bhakt, I do not like him even in the dream. Who are dear to Shankar and are enemy of mine; or who are enemy of Shankar and claim to be my Bhakt; those people live in hell for the whole Kalp. Whosoever will do the Darshan of Raameshwar he will come to my Lok after death. Whosoever will offer Gangaa Jal (water of Gangaa Jee) here, he will get Mukti (salvation); and whosoever will worship Him here without any desire, Shankar will give my Bhakti to him; whosoever will do the Darshan of this bridge he will cross this world sea without any effort."

In building this bridge neither Samudra did anything, nor stones did anything and nor monkeys did anything. It was only Raghuveer's glory through which even stones crossed the sea, those people are fools who do not chant Raam's name.

Nal and Neel built very strong bridge which Shree Raam liked very much. Now Raam's army of monkeys started walking on it. All are making loud noises. Shree Raam was standing near the bridge and was looking at the greatness of the sea. All creatures of the sea came out to have a Darshan of Shree Raam. There were crocodiles, snakes, fishes, and such huge animals whose body was up to hundred Yojan large. Many used to eat each other, but now they are looking at Raam so they are all standing together forgetting their enmity and are very happy to have Darshan of Shree Raam. They all are standing so close that one cannot see water behind them.
