Bicycling On Hilton Head Island
Although Hilton Head Island may be most well known for its world-class tennis and serious golf scenes, biking on Hilton Head has been an essential part of island life since the beginning of its modern development. Sea Pines Plantation, the first residential/resort community on the island, was constructed with certain amenities right from the beginning, including world-class tennis courts, excellent golf courses, and… biking paths. The idea was that the communities would be constructed around these amenities, meaning that biking on Hilton Head was a major part of developers’ original vision for island life. This method has meant that Hilton Head now boasts a very hefty—and booming—network of bicycling paths which are used by both residents and guests year-round.
Bicycling on Hilton Head Island, unlike biking in many of the nation’s communities, is a very popular pastime. Many of the island’s residents are bicycling enthusiasts, taking advantage of every opportunity the weather affords them to travel the island by bicycle. There are more than 100 miles of bicycling paths on Hilton Head. 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.
Luckily, even with half of the biking paths situated on private land, there are still 50 miles of prospective biking on Hilton Head Island for anyone and everyone to delight in. The majority of the bike paths are shared with pedestrians, but there are also biking lanes located on some of the island’s major roads. The comprehensive bicycling paths lead to many prime destinations on Hilton Head, including beach access points, tennis courts, golf courses, and public parks. This means that anyone involved in biking on Hilton Head Island 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. Biking lovers throughout the nation come to experience biking on Hilton Head, searching the island’s great beauty while getting some beneficial exercise. For island residents and visitors who are environmentally conscious, these biking paths provide a “green” way to enjoy 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 Island.
While anyone can enjoy Hilton Head by automobile, biking on Hilton Head Island is truly island life at its best. The many miles of biking paths provide residents and visitors the chance to see everything the island has to offer while never leaving the spectacular environment for the confines of a automobile. Anyone who visits owes it to themselves to try bicycling on Hilton Head, the best way to encounter the island.
