   So far I've found two:   
      
   Morocco: The Atlantic-Mediterranean coast is interrupted by two Spanish   
   exclaves on the Mediterranean side, Ceuta and Melilla, which would give   
   Morocco three sea coasts by the above criteria.   
      
   Saudi Arabia: The Red Sea coast is uninterrupted, but the Persian Gulf   
   coast is interrupted by Qatar, making two coasts on the Persian Gulf for   
   a total of three.
