New England coast
Northeastern American seaboard
The Atlantic shoreline stretching from Connecticut through Maine, characterized by rocky headlands, sheltered harbors, and fishing villages.
The term evokes a particular landscape—lighthouses, lobster boats, weathered shingles, and cold gray waters: They spent summers on the New England coast.
The coastline grows increasingly rugged heading north, from Connecticut's sandy beaches to Maine's dramatic cliffs.
