Shoreline is the edge where water meets land along oceans, seas, lakes, or rivers. It can include sand, rocks, or soil. Shorelines may be smooth or uneven, depending on the landscape. Waves and currents often shape the edge of the land.

Shorelines are found around the world along all types of water bodies. They can change over time as water moves land materials. Shorelines support plants, animals, and human activity. People often use shorelines for travel, fishing, and recreation.
