There is none. There is, in fact a difference, although minuscule. Shoreline refers to the edge of the shore, the shore being the stretch of dry land just before a body of water. Basically, where the beach ends. The shoreline is flexible and changes with the tides. The coastline is often used to refer to the shoreline, but in a more technical sense is the boundary where the continent ends. This is not the shoreline, but the end of the continental plate, usually referred to as the Drop-Off (remember 'Finding Nemo'?). This can be a couple hundred yards from shore, several miles, or at the shore, if something has recently broken off or there was an earthquake. Coastline is really the boundary of the continent while the shoreline is the boundary of the land. Another new answer Coastline ALWAYS refers to land/water boundary of continental entities. Shoreline refers to land/water boundaries of ANY sort i.e. rivers, lakes, seas, oceans where land gives way to water of some sort.
