The answer depends on how closely you look at it. On the macroscopic level you could simply measure the length of ocean, lake, and river coastline as given on a world map. On a microscopic level the length becomes almost fractal-like with each particle having some additional participation in the length. At this scale the length approaches infinity.
This answer is so completely wrong. Zambia is a landlocked country and has no coastline touching the Atlantic Ocean. South Africa's borders do not touch Zambia anywhere as Botswana and Zimbabwe stand between South Africa and Zambia. The South African coastline length is about 3 000km long stretching from Namibia on the Atlantic coast to Mozambique on the Indian Ocean coast,
The total length of public roads in the US is approximately 4.1 million miles. The circumference of the Earth is about 24,901 miles. Dividing the total length of US public roads by the Earth's circumference gives us approximately 164.6. Therefore, US public roads would wrap around the Earth around 165 times.

No. The mainland coastline of New South Wales is 2007 km in length, while the islands make up an extra 130 km of coastline length. The mainland coastline of Tasmania is 2833 km in length, with an additional 2049 km of coastline on its islands. This gives NSW a total coastline length of just 2137 km compared to Tasmania's total coastline length of 4882 km.
