Re: > “It would usually be "the area above the Low Tide mark” Agreed. Many people map this way, which means that the part of the beach between the low tide and hight tide lines is outside of the coastline. The Openstreetmap-carto style was recently changed to handle this. _

It would be usefull to document the method of  including alternate, side trips and access tracks to these routes. At the moment I and others are using the role 'alternate' for track alternative paths. For 'side trips' (short paths to features of interest) possibly the role 'side_trip'? For '
