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 Sand y or Pebbly , which can be produced by erosion of Sedimentary soils.

A strict definition is the strip of land along a water body that is alternately exposed and covered by waves and tides.
