The place where the land meets the water can be either the bank or the shore or the coast or the beach. The edge of a river is called its bank whereas the edge of a sea is its shore. The land bordering the sea is coast. We use it when we think of places on maps, of weather, or naval defence. A beach is part of the shore that is smooth, without rocks or cliffs:The only word that can be used for lakes is shore; as
- Calcutta is situated on the bank of the river Hoogly.
- He has house on the shore of lake Phewa.
- Our ship is fast heading towards the shore.
- Our ship sailed from port to port along the coast.
