[edit] Foreshoreway

A foreshoreway is a public right of way along the edge of a waterbody. The foreshoreway is often defined as the paved route pathway accessible to public pedestrians that is closest to the waterline and offers the opportunity to move along the waterbody. Dead ended sections of pathway that offer public access only to a waterbody or across a waterbody are not part of the foreshoreway.

A riverwalk is a type of foreshoreway. Another type of foreshoreway is an Oceanway.
