beachfront promenade

Coastal strolling path

A beachfront promenade is a paved walkway running along a beach or shoreline, designed for leisurely strolling, cycling, or people-watching.

Promenades typically separate the beach from hotels, shops, and restaurants: We walked the beachfront promenade at sunset.

The term evokes resort towns and seaside leisure culture.
