Cycling On Hilton Head
Although Hilton Head Island may be very popular for its world-class tennis and pro-caliber golf courses, biking on Hilton Head has been an essential part of island life since the very start 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 excellent tennis courts, great golf courses, and… biking paths. The idea was that the fine communities would be developed around these amenities, meaning that bicycling on Hilton Head Island was a major part of developers’ original visualization for island life. This novel approach has meant that Hilton Head Island currently boasts a very significant—and flourishing—network of biking 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 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.
Fortunately, even with half of the biking paths found on private land, there are still 50 miles of probable bicycling on Hilton Head for anyone and everyone to savor. The majority of the bike paths are shared with pedestrians, but there are also biking lanes located on some of the island’s significant roads. The comprehensive 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 fascinated 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 is easily one of the nation’s most bicycle-friendly communities.
