unless the Gulf of Mexico or long island sound or the gulf of Maine is considered an ocean
there are in all 5 bordering the pacific & but 11 bordering the Atlantic Ocean proper
so in that case 34 do not border an ocean
but considering gulfs of oceans as if they were oceans
as some people might
then only 28 do not
& allowing even inland seas as oceans
as fewer people might
then so few as 27 states do not border an ocean
& finally
stretching inland seas into tidal estuaries
as hardly anyone might
26 states still would not qualify for this distinction
but in any case the distinction of bordering or not bordering an ocean is a bit artificial
because the states that do literally & visibly & unarguably border one also include a roughly 3 & a half mile band of that ocean within their territory
& their state borders extend correspondingly far out into the ocean
so
ultimately
even the 16 states that least arguably border an ocean still do not legally literally & littorally border it
but rather overlap & incorporate part of it within themselves
so from that viewpoint all 50 states do not border an ocean
