Atlantic shoreline
Ocean's eastern edge
The Atlantic shoreline is the coastal boundary where land meets the Atlantic Ocean.
The term encompasses beaches, cliffs, marshes, and other coastal features along the ocean's edge.
In American usage, it typically refers to the East Coast: We drove down to the Atlantic shoreline for the weekend.
The phrase emphasizes the physical meeting point of land and sea rather than the broader coastal region.
