Americas
Capes in the Americas

This list of rivers of the Americas by coastline includes the major coastal rivers of the Americas arranged by country. A link to a map of rivers with known coordinates is listed at right. The ocean coasts are demarcated as follows:

This is a counterpart to the primarily alphabetical List of rivers of the Americas and other lists of rivers of countries, although only rivers which reach the ocean are included here, not tributaries.

Arctic Ocean coast

[edit]
Arctic Ocean

In the Americas, only the United States, Canada, and Greenland have rivers on the Arctic Ocean coast. Greenland is surrounded by the Barents Sea (part of the Arctic Ocean), the Greenland Sea (often described as part of the Arctic Ocean), Baffin Bay to the west (marginal sea of the Arctic Ocean), the Labrador Sea to the south (part of the Arctic Ocean), and directly to the Arctic Ocean to the north. The following is a list of rivers flowing into the Arctic Ocean. The province and country where the mouth is located are included.[1]

Atlantic Ocean coast

[edit]
Area of the Atlantic Ocean

The Atlantic Ocean has irregular coasts indented by numerous bays, gulfs and seas. These include the Baltic Sea, Black Sea, Caribbean Sea, Davis Strait, Denmark Strait, part of the Drake Passage, Gulf of Mexico, Labrador Sea, Mediterranean Sea, North Sea, Norwegian Sea, almost all of the Scotia Sea, and other tributary water bodies.[18] Including these marginal seas the coast line of the Atlantic measures 111,866 km (69,510 mi) compared to 135,663 km (84,297 mi) for the Pacific.[18][19]

The rivers in the following sections flow into the Atlantic Ocean, unless indicated otherwise. The rivers of Cuba and several other countries flow into the Caribbean Sea which connects to the Atlantic Ocean. Some rivers also flow into the Gulf of Mexico before the water reaches the main Atlantic Ocean. A few of the major, notable rivers flowing into the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico are included below. These lists contain rivers with Wikipedia articles and a few other well-documented rivers.

Endorheic basins

[edit]
Major endorheic basins of the world. Basins are shown in dark gray; major endorheic lakes are shown in black. Colored regions represent the major drainage patterns of the continents to the oceans (non-endorheic). Continental divides are indicated by dark lines.

There are Endorheic basins in several regions of the Americas. Rivers in these basins do not reach the oceans. The largest endorheic basin is the Great Basin (209,162 sq mi (541,730 km2)) in North America. There are also several endorheic basins in South America, including the Altiplano Basin (59,528 sq mi (154,180 km2)).[51]
