Coastal path

A coastal path (or a littoral path) is a trail along a sea shore or a lake shore for pedestrians, and sometimes for cyclists or equestrians.

Some coastal paths were originally created for use by customs or coastguard officials looking out for smugglers landing illicit goods.

In modern times some routes have been developed for tourists, with facilities such as benches, waymarks and information boards.
