coastal trails
Oceanside hiking routes
Coastal trails are paths that follow a shoreline, offering views of ocean, cliffs, beaches, or tidal zones.
They range from paved walkways to rugged hiking routes: We spent the morning on the coastal trail above Big Sur.
The term appears in travel guides and park systems to distinguish seaside routes from inland alternatives.
