Hilton Head Island Bicycling
Although Hilton Head Island may be most well-known for its excellent tennis and serious golf scenes, biking on Hilton Head Island has been an important part of island life since the infancy of its modern development. Sea Pines Plantation, the first residential/resort community on the island, was developed with certain amenities right from the beginning, including world-class tennis courts, world-class golf courses, and… biking paths. The idea was that the communities would be developed around these amenities, meaning that bicycling on Hilton Head was a major part of developers’ original plan for island life. This approach has meant that Hilton Head Island now boasts a very sizeable—and emergent—network of biking paths which are used by both residents and visitors 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 bike. There are more than 100 miles of bicycling 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.
Luckily, even with half of the biking paths found on private land, there are still 50 miles of future bicycling on Hilton Head for anyone and everyone to appreciate. 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 substantial bicycling 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 bicycling paths alone.
With miles of bicycling paths located on both public and private lands throughout the island, Hilton Head is easily one of the nation’s most bicycle-welcoming communities. Bicycling buffs throughout the United States come to experience bicycling on Hilton Head, traversing the island’s great beauty while getting some wonderful exercise. For island residents and visitors who are environmentally conscious, these biking paths provide a “green” way to get pleasure from 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 definitely 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 beautiful environment for the confines of a automobile. Anyone who visits owes it to themselves to try biking on Hilton Head Island, the best way to savor the island.
