I think that was a very stupid answer, sorry.  I reread your message
and realized you want to know the locations (longitudes and latitudes)
of coasts.  For that, you need to look for coastline data.  For
example, you can get coastlines as a series of lat-lon pairs from:

  http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/shorelines/shorelines.html

I guess there's a similar dataset somewhere in the Ferret
directories.
