waterside
Where land meets
Waterside refers to the edge of a body of water—a lake, river, sea, or pond: a waterside café, waterside property.
The term often appears in real estate and tourism contexts, suggesting proximity to water as desirable.
As an adjective, it describes things located at the water's edge: waterside dining, a waterside trail.
