"Coastal" means "on the sea". It could be a lake harbor. It could be something like Scapa Flow, where a cluster of islands serve as a breakwater.

It would have to be a very sizeable lake to have a harbor, which by definition must accommodate ships. But, I agree with enoon, CJ, there could be such a thing as a lakeside habor, for example, on the U.S. Great Lakes.

I don't think they do, now that you mention it. They have shores.
