North America and Asia both border three oceans. North America borders the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic oceans. Asia borders the Pacific, Indian, and Arctic oceans. You could also possibly argue that Australia borders three oceans - the Pacific, Indian, and Southern oceans. However, not all authorities agree as to the northern boundary of the Southern Ocean so it is debatable whether the southern coast of Australia is the Southern Ocean or the Indian Ocean. Australian charts show it as it the Southern Ocean, but the International Hydrographic Organization defines the northern boundary of the Southern Ocean to be 60 degrees South, and by that definition Australia's southern coast is actually the Indian Ocean.

Also, if you consider that the Mediterranean Sea is an arm of the Atlantic Ocean, then Asia could technically be said to border four oceans (Pacific, Indian, Arctic and Atlantic).
