「coastal」是形容詞,用來說某個地方或東西「在海邊、靠著海岸」。可以想成從 coast(海岸)加上 -al「長出來」的字,意思就是「跟海岸有關的」。例如 coastal town(沿海城鎮)、coastal waters(近海海域)。它跟 inland(內陸的)剛好相反,而 coast 是名詞(海岸本身),coastal 是形容詞。

One way to see it: a strip of land running along the edge where sea meets ground. Anything in that strip — a town, a road, a wind, a fishing boat — can be called coastal. It says "belonging to that edge", not simply "wet" or "in the sea".
