Beach walking
'''Beach walking''' is a [[sport]] that is based on [[walking]] on the [[sand]] of the [[beach]]. Beach walking can be done on compact sand or non-compact sand. It is an important variant of [[Beach Run]].

Beach walking competitions were held at the 1960s Easter Beach Run at [[Daytona Beach, Florida]] and the Annual Seaside Beach Run in the city of [[Seaside, Oregon]].

There are beach walking competitions on non-compact sand. And there are world records of beach walking on non-compact sand in multi-day distances.

Beach walking involves specific techniques:

* The walker walks with alternating movement of feet and arms.
* The walker bends the front arm and extends the other arm behind the torso.
* One foot of the walker must be in permanent contact with the sand.
