Because we have many beaches. Also because not all of the shore is a beach. A great deal of the shore is wetlands and waterways. We in south Jersey, at the shore, basically consider Point Pleasant/Seaside the northern end of the shore, which runs all the way down to Cape May. That's close to 100 miles of shoreline.
