coastal landscape
Where land meets ocean
A coastal landscape is the terrain where land meets sea—beaches, cliffs, dunes, estuaries, and tidal flats shaped by waves, wind, and salt.
The term appears in geography, environmental science, and tourism: The coastal landscape of Big Sur attracts millions of visitors.
Coastal landscapes are dynamic, constantly reshaped by erosion and storms.
