Significant seacoast in Dalmatia and Croatia-Slavonia. They had a navy.
Remember Captain von Trapp from "The Sound of Music"? Austrian naval officer. Austria is also landlocked, but the Austro-Hungarian Empire was not.
I have always wondered how an admiral became leader of Hungary, a landlocked country.
As part of the pre WW1 Dual Monarchy with Austria
it was not landlocked - it bordered the Adriatic and in fact had submarines and even a battleship.

Austro-Hungarian Empire, remember them, they had a navy.
World War I started because a dumba@@ prince went to Serbia and got shot, from the machinations of the idiotic Russian Foreign Minister with the jewish Foreign Minister of Austro-Hungary to gain access for the non-existent Black Sea Russian fleet to the Dardanelles. The A-H foreign minister played the idiot Russian (who was acting totally on his own under the weak and soon to be killed by Bolsheviks— Tsar Nicholas II)- by selling out the Serbs, and hence.... Serbian nationalist shot him dead.
A war to end all wars... that didn’t, and settled monarchical egos, destroying three Eagles- Russia, Germany and Austro-Hungary— all the monarchies destroyed. And a little Austrian corporal came to lead the dispossed into a new War— thanks to the French at Versailles.
I think prior to WWI Hungary stretched all the way to the
Adriatic, the port of Trieste.
