[Tagging] Walking route on a beach

[Peter Elderson]

There are signposts on the beach only at the access ways. Makes no sense to
place further signs to follow a stretch of beach, so you wil not find
those.
Trail_visibility: you could add that, but surface=sand on an area of sand
already says it it all. I've suggested this once on the dutch forum, and
the answer was: What do you mean, not visible? It's a perfectly visible
long and wide sandy path. Can't miss it even if you wanted to!
