lake shore

Beach beside lake

The land along the edge of a lake, where water meets ground.

Lake shore describes both the physical strip of beach, rocks, or vegetation at a lake's margin and the broader area near it: We built a cabin on the lake shore.

Often written as one word (lakeshore) or hyphenated (lake-shore), especially as an adjective: lakeshore property.
