About Coastlines & Bays

From the rocky headlands of Maine to the sun-warmed Gulf shores of Alabama, America's coastline stretches across thousands of miles of beach, marsh, and open bay. Broad estuaries like the Chesapeake filter the land's runoff into the sea, while barrier islands buffer the mainland from Atlantic storms. On the Pacific side, sheltered waters like Puget Sound carve deep into the landscape, giving sailors and shoreside towns a calm place between the mountains and the open ocean.
