coast/littoral/shoreline

I'd translate "tra gli affacci sul mare di xxxx e xxx sul versante occidentale" simply with "between xxxx and xxxx on the west coast/littoral/shoreline". and the same goes for the other part of the sentence.
simply because it sound smooth and clear!
hope that was helpful!
bye!
