Welcome to c/WouldYouRather, where we present you with the toughest, most ridiculous choices you never knew you had to make! Would you rather have a third arm that's only useful for picking your nose, or be able to talk to animals but only if they're wearing hats? Yeah, it's that kind of vibe. Come for the absurdity, stay because you've clearly got nothing better to do with your life.

I checked wiki for a couple numbers, and it looks like Earth's ocean surface area is 361 million km^2, and the shoreline is 356,000 km. Even assuming every bit of the shoreline is made of sharp deadly rocks, there's an extremely low probability you'll end up near the shore at all, even with almost 1900 chances at it.
Going by masquenox's comment, you might want to consider the whole volume of the oceans and the instant depressurisation that would occur if you were to survive the pressurisation.
Yeah the volume is one thing but I assumed we were talking about the surface. If you could end up miles underwater it wouldn't be worth it
