coastal scenes

Beaches and cliffs

Coastal scenes are visual depictions of shorelines, beaches, and ocean views—in paintings, photographs, or other imagery.

The term appears frequently in art catalogs, travel marketing, and home décor: The gallery specializes in coastal scenes.

The phrase evokes crashing waves, sandy beaches, rocky cliffs, and seaside light.
