HHI Bicycling
Although Hilton Head Island may be most acclaimed for its great tennis and pro-caliber golf scenes, bicycling on Hilton Head has been an important part of island life since the origination of its modern development. Sea Pines Plantation, the first residential/resort community on the island, was designed with certain amenities right from the beginning, including excellent tennis courts, exceptional golf courses, and… biking paths. The idea was that the communities would be put together around these amenities, meaning that biking on Hilton Head was a major part of developers’ original concept for island life. This strategy has meant that Hilton Head now boasts a very hefty—and thriving—network of bicycling paths which are used by both residents and visitors year-round.
Biking on Hilton Head, 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.
Thankfully, even with half of the biking paths situated on private land, there are still 50 miles of future biking on Hilton Head for anyone and everyone to enjoy. 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 considerable 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 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. Biking aficionados throughout the nation come to experience bicycling on Hilton Head Island, searching the island’s loveliness while getting some beneficial exercise. For island residents and visitors who are environmentally conscious, these biking paths provide a “green” way to savor 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 car, biking on Hilton Head is definitely 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 magnificent environment for the confines of a vehicle. Anyone who visits owes it to themselves to try bicycling on Hilton Head Island, the best way to experience the island.
