   I think I first discarded Poland, because the one in the west does   
   not like like a sea. I have passed over the Swino strait going to   
   and through the ferry in Swinoujscie a few times, and I don't have   
   recollection of the passage being wider than your typical river.   
   But, Wikipedia says the water is brackish.   
      
   When it comes to the Vistual lagoon is more clear-cut. I have not   
   been in that area, but I have been to Klaipedia in Lithunia and   
   travelled across the water to the Courunian spit. And that lagoon   
   is definitely the sea. The ferry is about 1 km across.

   There are probably more that can be added to that list, but it follows   
   from the discussion above that Lithuania and Kaliningrad are two-coast   
   countries.
