Which term denotes the shore or border of land adjacent to the sea or ocean?

The idea being tested is the geographic boundary where land meets the sea. The term for the shore or border of land adjacent to the sea or ocean is the seacoast. It specifically names the edge along the water, the coastline itself, rather than protections, dry channels, or tidal waterways. A buffer zone is a protected or restricted area, an arroyo is a dry creek bed typical of arid regions, and an estero is a tidal channel or estuary; none of these describe the land-sea boundary as precisely as seacoast does.
