Shoreline, Washington A shore or shoreline is the fringe of land at the edge of a large body of water, such as an
ocean,
sea, or
lake.Shores are influenced by the
topography of the surrounding landscape, as well as by water induced
erosion, such as
waves. The
geological composition of rock and
soil dictates the type of shore which is created. Although a
beach is a
synonym for a shore, the term typically refers to shores which are
sandy or
pebbly, which can be produced by erosion of
sedimentary soils.
