"The state with the longest coastline in the US is Michigan." http://www.jayp.net/trivia/geo01.htm This is what I copied from "Alaska Facts" At 656,425 square miles, Alaska is the largest state, twice the size of Texas, and one fifth the size of the entire United States. 570,374 square miles of Alaska are land areas and 86,051 square miles of Alaska are covered by water. North to South, Alaska is 1,400 miles long. East to West, it is 2,700 miles wide. Alaska has the longest general coastline of any state. The Alaskan coastline extends for 6,640 miles, a distance greater than that of all the other states' coastlines combined. Including islands, Alaska has 33,904 miles of shoreline. The estimated tidal shoreline, including islands, inlets sounds and bays, is 47,300 miles. |
