What continents touch all 5 ocean?
If the "5 ocean" in question are the Arctic, the Antarctic/Southern, the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the Indian... none. No continent touches both the Arctic and Southern oceans. In fact, the exact boundaries of the Southern Ocean are not well defined, but using the 60th parallel definition, the only continent that touches the Southern Ocean is Antarctica, which touches no other ocean.
If you exclude the Southern Ocean and ask instead what continents touch all four oceans, the answer is "maybe Asia, depending on exactly where you draw the boundary between Asia and Europe and precisely what bodies of water you consider to be part of the Atlantic."

Is the Caribbean in the Atlantic Ocean?
Jamaica is found in the Caribbean Sea. The Caribbean Sea is found in the Atlantic Ocean. Other islands in the Caribbean are Haiti and Hispaniola.
Seeing that the United Kingdom is some 4,200 to 4,900 miles (6759 to 7885 kms) away from the Caribbean, and that the Caribbean Sea is part of the Atlantic Ocean, we could have a bit of a problem in answering this question.
What are the 9 states that border the Atlantic Ocean?
The common answer is 14 states - Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida border the Atlantic Ocean. However, in my opinion, it's debatable whether Connecticut really does border the Atlantic Ocean or not. It borders Long Island Sound, Block Island Sound, and maybe Rhode Island Sound. But I'm not sure any of it actually touches the Atlantic.
