North Shore
Upper lakeside area
North Shore refers to the northern coastline of an island or body of water, typically designating a specific region.
In the United States, it commonly means the affluent northern suburbs of Long Island or the legendary surfing beaches on Oahu's northern coast: The North Shore gets massive winter swells.
Various cities have their own North Shores—Chicago, Boston, Sydney.
The term often carries connotations of either wealth or world-class waves, depending on context.
