Morphology

coastside = coast + side (transparent) = coast + side

A straightforward compound of 'coast' + 'side' whose meaning 'located near the coast' is directly inferable from its parts.

Etymology

Coastside comes from two simple words: coast ('edge of land by the sea') and side ('area beside something'). So, to call a place coastside is to say it is on or near the sea, the 'side' by the coast.
