Template:Coastal settlements
Purpose
This template allows navigation from a page for a settlement that is usually identified as a coastal settlement to adjacent coastal settlements around a sea coast, or the coast of a lake or inland sea. At some point the linked pages might be in the next county or country, but that would not be a problem. When complete these template entries will link their pages into a two way circular linked list.
