HHI Biking
Although Hilton Head Island may be most famous for its excellent tennis and pro-caliber golf scenes, biking on Hilton Head has been an vital part of island life since the inception 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, great golf courses, and… biking paths. The idea was that the communities would be designed around these amenities, meaning that bicycling on Hilton Head Island was a major part of developers’ original vision for island life. This approach has meant that Hilton Head now boasts a very hefty—and thriving—network of biking paths which are used by both residents and guests year-round.
Bicycling on Hilton Head, unlike bicycling 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.
Fortunately, even with half of the bicycling paths situated on private land, there are still 50 miles of possible bicycling on Hilton Head for anyone and everyone to take pleasure in. 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 widespread 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 passionate in biking 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 Island is easily one of the United States' most bicycle-friendly communities. Biking lovers throughout the nation come to experience biking on Hilton Head Island, exploring 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 car, biking on Hilton Head Island 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 lovely 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 experience the island.
