Shoreline
From Coastal Wiki
Definition of Shoreline:
The intersection between the mean high water line and the shore. The line delineating the shoreline on Nautical Charts (Sea Maps) approximates this Mean High Water Line. The shoreline is not easy to identify in the nature in contrast to the coastline, which is based on a clear morphological shift between the shore and the coast[1].
This is the common definition for Shoreline, other definitions can be discussed in the article
