coast to coast
Across the country
Coast to coast describes something that spans or travels across an entire landmass from one shoreline to the other, typically referring to the full width of a continent or large country.
In American usage, it usually means from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean: The band is embarking on a coast-to-coast tour.
The phrase emphasizes comprehensive coverage or reach, suggesting something truly nationwide rather than regional.
