coastal route
Ocean-adjacent highway path
A coastal route is a path, road, or course of travel that follows along a coastline.
The term applies to highways hugging the shore, shipping lanes near land, or any journey that traces the edge where land meets sea: We took the coastal route down to Big Sur.
Coastal routes often prioritize scenery over speed.
