seafront promenade, boardwalk along the sea
Looks like
lungo mare (long sea)
no direct English word — descriptive compound
⚠️ The trap
Tourists sometimes read 'lungo' as 'long' (adjective) and 'mare' as 'sea' (correctly) but miss that 'lungomare' is a single noun meaning the seaside promenade/road, not just 'long sea'.
To say "no direct English word — descriptive compound" in Italian:
lungomare
"lungomare" in English means:
seafront promenade, boardwalk along the sea
Example
"Facciamo una passeggiata sul lungomare stasera."
"Let's take a walk along the seafront this evening."
