Hilton Head Island Biking
Although Hilton Head Island may be most well known for its great tennis and fantastic golf scenes, biking on Hilton Head Island has been an valuable part of island life since the beginning of its modern development. Sea Pines Plantation, the first residential/resort community on the island, was built with certain amenities right from the beginning, including world-class tennis courts, great golf courses, and… biking paths. The idea was that the communities would be constructed around these amenities, meaning that bicycling on Hilton Head was a major part of developers’ original plan for island life. This strategy has meant that Hilton Head Island now boasts a very hefty—and flourishing—network of bicycling paths which are used by both residents and visitors year-round.
Biking 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 biking 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.
Fortunately, even with half of the bicycling paths positioned on private land, there are still 50 miles of future bicycling on Hilton Head Island for anyone and everyone to savor. The majority of the bike paths are shared with pedestrians, but there are also bicycling lanes located on some of the island’s major roads. The substantial biking 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 bicycling on Hilton Head Island can get almost anywhere on the island they want to using the biking paths alone.
With miles of bicycling paths located on both public and private lands throughout the island, Hilton Head Island is easily one of the United States' most bicycle-friendly communities. Bicycling buffs throughout the United States come to experience bicycling on Hilton Head, searching the island’s loveliness while getting some excellent 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 bicycling on Hilton Head.
While anyone can enjoy Hilton Head Island by vehicle, bicycling on Hilton Head Island is certainly island life at its best. The many miles of bicycling paths provide residents and visitors the opportunity to see everything the island has to offer while never leaving the lovely environment for the confines of a automobile. Anyone who visits owes it to themselves to try bicycling on Hilton Head Island, the best way to savor the island.
