Again, from https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:route "routes for
vehicles when there is no road (e.g., desert)."

Substitute foot for vehicle (both are means of transport) and beach for
desert (both can be sandy :) ).  It's not big stretch.
The examples on that web page are just that: examples.  It explicitly says
"If used on ways, route describes a route
which is not linked to a physical object like streets or rails."
