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.
