Isle of Palms Biking

If you prefer to be active while on vacation and spend some time basking in the great outdoors, taking a bike ride is a great way to achieve this. This is especially true when visiting the stunning coastal region of South Carolina. The natural beauty of the surrounding area makes outdoor recreation even more enjoyable for travelers, with many of them taking to the various Isle of Palms bike trails and paths in the region. During your stay you’ll find many leisurely and challenging places to bike ride in the Isle of Palms with breathtaking scenery all around. You can feel your tension melt away as you pedal your way along paths surrounded by trees or as you cross the sand to the music of ocean waves slapping against the shores.

Biking on Isle of Palms

Isle of Palms biking is not just a fun outdoor activity, but a way of life. It’s one of the easiest ways to get from destination to destination on the island, and the large network of pathways will allow you to explore the community in a way you wouldn’t be able to from a car. Our coastal barrier island is only about five-plus square miles, so communities are built close together. Your Exclusive Properties vacation rental is within riding distance of everything on the island, no matter your bicycling skill level. Whether you prefer to pedal at a more relaxed pace or get in a vigorous ride, you’ll find just the right place to ride to suit your speed.

Isle of Palms Weather

Your Exclusive Properties Isle of Palm vacation home is located in an area that is famous for mild temperatures year-round, making it an ideal place for bike riding—for street riding, anyway; there aren’t any mountains on this island! Low temperatures rarely sink lower than 37 degrees during the coldest days of winter, and the highs almost never rise more than 89 degrees during the dog days of summer. With an average of over 200 days of sunshine each year, chances are your vacation will be filled with plenty of great weather opportunities for riding!

Isle of Palms Bike Trails and Paths

Isle of Palms is home to miles of bike riding opportunities. It’s possible to wind your way throughout the entire island either on paved roads or hard-packed sand beaches. Explore the island from atop a colorful beach cruiser, feeling the ocean breeze kiss your cheeks. Wild Dunes Resort is also full of designated Isle of Palms bike trails. One ride that’s particularly worth checking out is Isle of Palms to Sullivan’s Island. Approximately nine miles round trip, the route will take you on a beautiful journey alongside water and saltmarsh. If you’re feeling daring, saddle up and ride across the Ravenel Bridge over to Charleston. High winds can make it difficult, but the feeling of accomplishment you get from the long ride outweighs the struggles to get there. Once in Charleston, if you still have the energy, there are miles and miles of SC bike trails for riders of all skill levels. If you’re not sure you can handle the trek, drive your bike across the bridge, park your vehicle, and set your GPS to explore: Charleston is a city filled with scenic trails that will make you fall in love!
