I agree. I think trail_visibility=no + surface=sand (or whatever the beach surface) is essential so that data consumers know this is just walking on the beach and there is no special infrastructure there like a boardwalk. In my opinion, it would be better to not add the highway=footway unless it's market out with sign posts or something, ideally routing engines would be able to route across a beach area from footways that connect to either end, but most routing engines struggle with routing over areas. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
