List of countries by length of coast

World map with _ Landlocked states and landlocked states that only _ are surrounded by other landlocked countries

The following list sorts countries and territories according to the total length of their coastline . Only sea coasts are counted and no river banks or sea borders. Countries with winding coastlines or many islands have a significantly longer coastline than the actual size of the country suggests. Thus Canada , which over the Arctic Canadian archipelago has the world's longest coastline. A state without any coastline is called a landlocked state .
