Florida has 1,350 miles of general coastline and 8,426 miles of tidal shoreline.
Texas has 367 miles of general coastline and 3,359 miles of tidal shoreline.
California has 840 miles of general coastline and 3,427 miles of tidal shoreline.
The numbers will differ based on how the measurements were taken. The above answers are based on the following definitions.
General coastline is defined as the general outline of seacoast. Measurements made with unit measure of 30 minutes of latitude on charts as near scale of 1:1,200,000 as possible. Coastline of bays and sounds is included to point where they narrow to width of unit measure, and distance across at such point is included.
Tidal shoreline figures were obtained in 1939-1940 with recording instrument on largest-scale maps and charts then available. Shoreline of outer coast, offshore islands, sounds, bays, rivers, and creeks is included to head of tidewater, or to point where tidal waters narrow to width of 100 feet.
Incidentally, Alaska has more than these three states combined with 6,640 miles of general coastline and 33,904 miles of tidal shoreline.
