Hilton Head Biking
Although Hilton Head may be most acclaimed for its excellent tennis and fantastic golf scenes, biking on Hilton Head Island has been an valuable part of island life since the inception of its modern development. Sea Pines Plantation, the first residential/resort community on the island, was engineered with certain amenities right from the beginning, including great tennis courts, great golf courses, and… biking paths. The idea was that the communities would be engineered around these amenities, meaning that biking on Hilton Head was a major part of developers’ original vision for island life. This approach has meant that Hilton Head Island now boasts a very sizeable—and booming—network of biking paths which are used by both residents and visitors year-round.
Bicycling on Hilton Head, unlike biking in many of the nation’s communities, is a very popular pastime. Many of the island’s residents are biking enthusiasts, taking advantage of every opportunity the weather affords them to travel the island by bicycle. There are more than 100 miles of biking paths on Hilton Head Island. About half of that total is located within private communities, meaning only island residents and visitors who are staying within the community are allowed to use them.
Happily, even with half of the biking paths positioned on private land, there are still 50 miles of future bicycling on Hilton Head for anyone and everyone to benefit from. The majority of the bike paths are shared with pedestrians, but there are also bicycling lanes located on some of the island’s main roads. The wide-ranging biking paths lead to many prime destinations on Hilton Head Island, including beach access points, tennis courts, golf courses, and public parks. This means that anyone involved in bicycling on Hilton Head can get almost anywhere on the island they want to using the biking paths alone.
With miles of biking paths located on both public and private lands throughout the island, Hilton Head Island is easily one of the nation’s most bicycle-welcoming communities. Bicycling lovers throughout the nation come to experience bicycling on Hilton Head, exploring the island’s great beauty while getting some beneficial exercise. For island residents and visitors who are environmentally conscious, these bicycling paths provide a “green” way to delight in everything the island has to offer. Many companies on the island offer bicycle rentals, so that even those who don’t own bikes (or who don’t want to transport their bikes) can enjoy biking on Hilton Head.
While anyone can enjoy Hilton Head Island by vehicle, biking on Hilton Head Island is certainly island life at its best. The many miles of biking paths provide residents and visitors the opportunity to see everything the island has to offer while never leaving the magnificent environment for the confines of a motor vehicle. Anyone who visits owes it to themselves to try bicycling on Hilton Head Island, the best way to encounter the island.
