Hello!

Is there a difference between:

-the Eastern coast ?

Thank you very much for your help

It depends upon what specific geographic area you are describing. For example, if you are talking about the United States in general, "the East Coast" is a common term to refer to the states that border the Atlantic Ocean. However, some states have more than one coast - for example, Florida has an "eastern coast" and a "western coast."
