coastal hike

Walk along cliffs

A coastal hike is a walk along the shoreline, typically on trails that follow cliffs, beaches, or headlands with ocean views.

The term implies recreational walking of moderate length and effort: We did a coastal hike through the state park.

The appeal usually lies in sea breezes, dramatic scenery, and the meeting of land and water.
