While it has a lot we must respect Alaska's claim to that title because it has:
- 6,640 miles of shoreline when measured from point to point.
- 33,904 miles of shoreline if you include the numerous islands. And
- 47,300 miles of estimated tidal shoreline if you measure islands, inlets and the shoreline to the head of tidal waters in its many rivers. Alaska is big. Consider for example that it has a common border with Canada that covers a distance of 1,538 miles and with an area of 586,412 square miles it is 47.25 times the size of Maryland. That's right, you can fit 47 Marylands into Alaska and still have some wiggle room.
