lake shores
Beaches beside lakes
Lake shores are the land areas bordering lakes, where water meets earth.
The term emphasizes the strip of ground along the water's edge rather than the lake itself: We walked along the lake shore looking for flat stones to skip.
Often written as one word (lakeshore) or hyphenated (lake-shore), especially when used as an adjective: lakefront property, lakeshore communities.
