Default Sea Bank?

Hello,

please, is it possible to use the word "bank" also for the coast? I know that "river bank" is ok, but I am not sure whether I can use "sea bank" or "bank of the sea" and I was not able to find it.

Thanks, Jitka

Default Re: Sea Bank?

Bank isn't used when talking about the sea. "Shore" would be the usual word.
