Landside Access


Explanation:
It is a little more obvious, but what about Landside Access?

"Landside Access to U.S. Ports..."

"...Landside access is a general term used to describe the multimodal connections used for transferring goods
from their unloading station at the port to their next destination. Problems of landside access arise when the
throughput capacity of a port exceeds that of the land-based transportation network servicing the port.."

easy access by land/by road [to the sailing area]


Explanation:
I prefer 'easy access' to 'good access' - I belive it is more idiomatic. I am not totally happy with the literal 'by land' which has just a hint of trekking through the jungle to the shore, so I am putting 'by road' up for consideration?
