Coastlines are indeed fractals, and a similar argument could be made for any border defined by natural phenomena (so like, not the long straight US/Canada border).

Coastlines are not self repeating and they are fundamentally finite.

Fractals are not necessarily self repeating, they just contain detail at arbitrarily small scales.
