Etymology: From fore- + shore.

  1. The part of a shore between high water and low water.

    The line was constructed at a cost of £8,000, and ascended from the foreshore, near the Spa, to the Esplanade in 284 ft. at a gradient of 1 in 1.75.

    It was a blessed little realm. I stopped often in the country towns – Donnybrook, Bridgetown, Busselton, Margaret River — to sit with a cup of coffee or browse through stacks of secondhand books or take a walk along a wooden pier or duney foreshore.
