beach trails

Seaside walking paths

Beach trails are paths that follow or provide access to coastal shorelines.

They may run along sandy beaches, traverse dunes, or wind through coastal vegetation to reach the water.

Unlike formal hiking trails, beach trails often shift with tides and erosion: The beach trail disappeared where winter storms had washed it out.
