beachfront homes
Shoreline living spaces
Beachfront homes are residential properties located directly on the beach, with immediate access to the shoreline.
The term emphasizes proximity and often implies premium real estate value: Beachfront homes in Malibu can cost tens of millions.
Such properties face particular risks from erosion, hurricanes, and rising sea levels.
