'Seeufer' is made up of 'See' (lake) and 'Ufer' (shore). It therefore means the shore of a lake; the first part specifies which body of water the shore belongs to.

Common collocations include 'am Seeufer spazieren' (to walk along the lakeshore), 'direkt am Seeufer liegen' (to be located directly on the lakeshore), and 'entlang des Seeufers' (along the lakeshore). These expressions usually describe leisure activities, location, or a route by the water.
