It is Canada. Chile is the longest country (lengthwise) in the world but due to Canada having its East and West side exposed as coastline, Canada is the answer you need. Russia is the worlds largest country but hasnt got nearly as much coastline as Canada. Hope this helps!

I looked this up on Encarta.

Canada: Coastline length:
The coast of the Canadian mainland, about 58,500 km (about 36,350 mi) in length, is extremely broken and irregular, with alternating large bays and peninsulas. Canada also has numerous coastal islands, with a total island coastline of about 185,290 km (about 115,130 mi).

longest continuous coastline
Russia has the longest continuous coastline of any country in the world. Its coastline stretches 37,653 km (23,396 mi), mostly along the Arctic and Pacific oceans; other coasts lie along the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea in the south. Because the majority of its coast lies in waters that are frozen for many months of the year, Russia has few year-round oceanic outlets. Despite these limitations, Russian shipping and fishing takes place on all the seas.
