"Shoreline" seems like a clear word: the fixed line where the land meets the water. Put it on a map. But in reality shorelines change constantly, and legal definitions tend to be fictions. In Washington State, the legal "shoreline" for property is almost always under several feet of water. People get very angry about it, regardless of the actual reality.

Anyway, here's a beach where the tide goes out for hundreds of feet.
