coastal retreat
Beachside vacation spot
Coastal retreat refers to the gradual landward movement of a shoreline due to erosion, rising sea levels, or storm damage.
Geologists and planners use the term when discussing how coastlines change over time: The coastal retreat has accelerated in recent decades.
Separately, a coastal retreat is a vacation getaway near the shore—a place to escape and relax by the sea.
