Running along a wide path with a view of the sea is a favorite for many runners. Our ‘seafront promenades‘ category has 300+ of these types of routes, worldwide. Here, we choose 25 of our favorites in North America. The criteria: must be along an ocean, or one of the Great Lakes (not a river), at least 2 miles long, not on the road, and feature unobstructed views of the water. Note: these are listed in alphabetical order, by location.
Some favorite seaside promenades for running in La Paz, Santa Rosalia, and Loreto in the state of Baja California Sur. See our separate guides for Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo.
