Hi
The beach areas are, for me, mostly relations.
Some of one walk goes from rock to sand to rock and so on - just a coastal area
that is part of a walk .. not advisable at hight tide :)
Including areas as a 'route'? Don't know if any bits of software that would
handle that, especially if the area is another relation.

Hi Warin,
i recently mapped the same situation: a costal hiking trail leading
over a beach. [^1] I just mapped an empty way (choice B), but later
someone added highway=footway (likely because Osmose or a similar
reported an error). I think that this is wrong, because there's no
visible path on the ground and not knowing that a hiking trail runs
along the beach, one would certainly not map a path there. Maybe a
third choice were to add the beach area to the hiking route relation?

Hi,
There are a few walking routes that incorporatesections of beach walking.
These sections have no 'infrastructure' - they are not formed or
unformed paths, they are just walking along the beach.
The choice of how to map them? As I see it there are two;
A) Create a Path - tagged as a path e.g.Way: 219753403
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/219753403#map=16/-43.5372/146.5824
This renders and is usable by routing software and appears on
https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#route?id=2712082&map=16!-43.5369!146.5842
B) Create a way without any physical tags e.g Way: 656134075
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/656134075#map=18/-29.57874/153.33473
This does not render on maps but does appear on
https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#route?id=4869590&map=18!-29.5793!153.3358
This may not be rotatable with some software as it has no physical
presence.
My preference is for B as that does not imply a 'path' but it does get
some indication of the continuous route.
Any thoughts?
