DT Los Angeles is about 15 Miles from the Pacific, but parts of the city limits touch the Pacific.
DT Houston is 50 miles inland from the Gulf. A small portion of it touches the Galveston Bay.
It's about 30 miles to DT Long Beach (LA's largest beach) from DT Los Angeles. Harris County at its Southern edge is around 30 miles to the beach also.
Citing palm trees as a requirement for being "coastal" is poor reasoning and judgment. I guess that means Virginia Beach, Ocean City, Atlantic City, or even Eureka, CA aren't "coastal" by that definition.
This sure is an odd and peculiar thread with some of the most crackpot arguments, and considering this is City-Data, that says a lot.
Los Angeles isn't right on the water either. It sits almost as far inland as Houston does. I guess LA isn't coastal either is it?
What a tard!
BTW DT Houston to DT Galveston is 51.34 miles according to Mapquest so it would be about 50 miles to Seawall Blvd.
LA is much more coastal than Houston. Barely any densely populated areas of the Houston metro/CSA and overall are located right on or near the Gulf of Mexico. However pretty much the entire Pacific Coast right on and near LA is densely populated areas, look at google maps aerial, or a population density map.

So both of you are wrong.
And calling someone a "tard," how "klassy" and ironic
Detroit is more coastal than Houston.
BTW Don't expect Metro Matt to ever admit that he's wrong.

Well, I wouldn't go that far to say that Detroit is "more coastal" than Houston, but you are right about that poster. He keeps creating new arguments in order to deflect from the ones in which he's proven wrong.
I'm sorry, but that would be down right depressing to live on a coast & not see a palm tree in sight for hundreds of miles. I think I'll pass on that one.
Sure thing, pass on answering a question because you don't like the answer. Typical of your actions here this entire thread.

To Long Beach???
Lol wow. Do you realize the Pacific Ocean is west of downtown as well?

But, but, but... you are using two totally different ways of measuring distance to a coast. Isn't that a tad on the dishonest side? Oh yeah, I forgot who was posting the argument or "facts". LOL
