It used to show red dots where the costline was not connected.

The Geofabrik OSM Inspector has a coastline debug view too 
(http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=water&lon=-3.21094&lat=43.08012&zoom=6&) 
but that only covers Europe.

(Inspector has data collected by three different toolchains; one of them 
works globally and feeds e.g. the tagging, multipolygon, and general 
geometry debug layers; the other two currently do Europe only and would 
require re-writing to cope with the whole planet. I'm sort of looking 
for a commercial sponsor to pay for a few days of work and/or bigger 
hardware to make these views available world-wide. So if you know 
someone who might be interested, drop me a line...)

Bye
Frederik
