Estimates vary quite a lot, since it's hard to measure the coast in sufficient detail - and in theory it could be said to be infinite. However, one estimate mentioned in the New Scientist is a length of around 860,000 kilometres, which is 534,400 miles

There are 90,000 miles of coast in the US alone.
Canada is the country with the longest coastline (152,100 miles) and Monaco has the shortest coastline (3.5 miles).
TOTAL: 372,384 miles (597,270 km) of coastline in the world.

no, it's a few million miles. Think of how many islands there are in Indonesia, UK, Caribbean, etc. etc. Use google Earth for a reality check. It isn't 860,000 kilometres, far more.
