Alaska is the state with the most shoreline because it includes many islands and the state itself is enormous. Behind that would probably fall California and Florida.
The great lake state that has more shoreline than the entire US Atlantic Seaboard is Michigan.
Michigan has the most shoreline of any state in the continental US. Its extensive coastline along the Great Lakes totals over 3,000 miles, with the shores of four of the five Great Lakes -- Superior, Michigan, Huron, and Erie.
