coastless
Lacking ocean borders
Coastless describes a place without a coast—landlocked or otherwise lacking a shoreline.
The word is rare, appearing mainly in geographical or poetic contexts: a coastless nation dependent on its neighbors for port access.
It can also describe imaginary or abstract territories that have no boundary with the sea.
