Usage Note :

You can use beach, coast, and shore to talk about the piece of land beside a stretch of water. The coast is the area of land that lies alongside the sea. You may be referring just to the land close to the sea, or to a wider area that extends further inland. A beach is a flat area of sand or pebbles next to the sea. The shore is the area of land along the edge of the sea, a lake, or a wide river.

beach, coast 和 shore 都可以用来指大片水域的岸边陆地。coast 是沿海陆地区域,既可以指紧靠海边的区域,也可以泛指沿海地区。beach 是指海边的沙滩或碎石滩。shore 是指海洋、湖泊或宽广的河流的岸边陆地。
