Oceanway

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the community in the United States, see Oceanway, Florida.

An oceanway is a form of foreshoreway that provides sustainable public access along an oceanfront area. The terminology was derived to avoid the perception of a pavement favouring either pedestrians (footpath) or cyclists (bikeway).

An oceanway corridor often includes a number of traffic streams that provide access along an oceanfront area including:

soft shore movements (e.g. walking along the sandy beach)
edge of foreshore off road green mode pavement (foreshoreway)
edge of road off road green mode pavement
on road bikeway
on road private vehicles movements
on road public transport corridor

Another common type of foreshoreway is called a riverwalk, which provides public access along a river.
