What is the Atlantic Coast?

The Atlantic Coast is like a long, sandy strip that stretches from one end of a big ocean to another, and it’s where many people live.

Imagine you're playing with your favorite toy car on the floor. Now imagine that floor is a map, part of it is land, and the rest is water. The Atlantic Coast is like the edge of the land where it meets the Atlantic Ocean. It's where the land touches the ocean, kind of like how your hand touches the floor when you reach for your toy.

If you've ever been to a beach and walked along the shore, you were walking on part of the Atlantic Coast! Some parts are sandy, some have rocks, and others might even be covered in grass or trees. It's like a big, friendly neighbor that lives right next to the ocean.

Lots of cities and towns live along the Atlantic Coast, just like how your family lives in your house. These places are special because they get to enjoy both land and sea, perfect for swimming, fishing, or even building a sandcastle!
