See answer above; many shoreline data sets exist. Comparing model results to detailed records of coastline change will become more appropriate as the model is used to investigate shoreline change in more detail in a particular location and time period.
However, to date the model has been used chiefly for relatively abstract explorations of how coastline evolution works: how emergent coastline structures such as capes, spits, and alongshore sand waves form and interact; how heterogeneity in underlying geology affects coastline evolution; how scenarios of changing storm and wave climates would affect coastline change; and how human manipulations alter large-scale coastline change). Ashton and Murray (2006b) compared robust model predictions concerning the way local wave climates vary along a coastline with emergent structures (capes and flying spits) to hindcast wave climates along actual shorelines. As opposed to testing whether model parameters can be adjusted to reproduce observations in detail, testing a robust prediction like this, which does not depend on the formal details of the model ingredients, can falsify the hypothesis that the interactions in the model capture the basic aspects of the interactions that are important in the actual system (see Murray, 2003; 2007). +

Test data sets are provided as part of releases available at https://www.usgs.gov/software/modflow-6-usgs-modular-hydrologic-model to verify that MODFLOW 6 is correctly installed and running on the system.
Test data sets are also available from https://github.com/MODFLOW-USGS/modflow6-examples (and viewable online at https://modflow6.readthedocs.io/), https://github.com/MODFLOW-USGS/modflow6-testmodels, and https://github.com/MODFLOW-USGS/modflow6-largetestmodels
The tests may also be looked at as examples of how to use the program. +

The model has been tested against field data on tracer dispersal collected on Halfmoon Creek, Colorado USA, by Bradley and Tucker (2012) and Bradley (2017), and on the Buech River, France, by Brousse et al. (2019), Michal Tal and Daniel Vazquez-Tarrio. The Halfmoon Creek data are available as supporting information of Bradley (2017). The Buech River data are in teh model github repository.

The model is issued with three example simulations: 1) A centerline migration example starting from a nearly straight stream; 2) A floodplain deposition simulation and 3) A simulation modeling 5 years of migration of the Madidi river. This simulation uses downstream sediment routing, and the model is tested against the actual river migration during the same time interval. See the program documentation for details. +
