Third Coast is an American colloquialism used to describe coastal regions distinct from the East Coast and the West Coast of the United States. Generally, the term "Third Coast" refers to either the Great Lakes region[1] or the Gulf Coast of the United States.[2] "Fourth Coast" may refer to the same areas, with the assumption that the other is the Third Coast.
