<p>Yes, assuming the enchantment is not also a land, it counts as a nonland permanent. It would be returned to your hand by <a class="mtg-autocard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bCoastal%20Breach%5d">Coastal Breach</a>, for example.</p>

<p>We know that enchantments go to the battlefield when they resolve.</p>

<p>Yes. A permanent is a card or token on the battlefield. An Aura attached to a permanent is therefore also a permanent, and will be returned to its owner's hand by that effect. </p>

If you are going to mention that one section of the rules states this, it would be a good idea to include that section of the rules.

Part of the reason for quoting that section of the rules is that the rule numbering changes sometimes, and without the quote, if a removal and an addition meant rule 110.1 became rule 109.2 we'd have no idea what's being talked about here.

<p>If my opponent uses a spell with the effect "return all nonland permanents to their owner's hand", does that include enchantments - auras?</p>

Yes. A permanent is a card or token on the battlefield. An Aura attached to a permanent is therefore also a permanent, and will be returned to its owner's hand by that effect.
