If circulating oceanic saltwater reaches a given city, it's coastal. Salt Lake City would be an example of a city that's touched by circulating non-oceanic saltwater (nevermind how far inland it is) and therefore not coastal.

It rained this weekend and there was a big puddle near the street. So for now, Yes.

I grew up in a city on the Saint Lawrence river, not technically in its estuarial waters (which begin at Quebec City ~200 km downriver). However, Montreal was still the largest port in Canada until quite recently, and remains the largest inland port in the world. The Saint Lawrence Seaway begins at Montreal and ends at the west end of Lake Erie (near Detroit) some 800 km away By "largest" do you mean in city size or shipping traffic? I swear hearing that Duluth, Minnesota was the world's biggest inland port.

Whatever government agency that's responsible for monitoring your waterways (oceanic or otherwise) will have all that kind of information. We got really big tides.

Melbourne is coastal last time I checked.

1000+ feet up.

Got no harbour, no earthquakes, hurricanes, or tsunamis.

What's a volcano? I look down on tidal waves.

Severe floods climb a quarter way up the banks of what is a very tame river.

They don't happen anymore after they put in the dam.

A freak tornado is the most excitement we get.

Oh, and several feet of snow.

It's -10c on April 2.

There may be a blizzard before June or just after August.

I'm told it'll improve if we all drive more SUVs.

Duluth is the world's "most inland" port, being further from the sea than any other.

Montreal handles much more traffic than Duluth does, AFAIK

I'm living in an island city-state. Nobody lives in a more coastal town than I do.
