Explore Sea Pines on Two Wheels

Biking in Sea Pines

Biking is more than a way to get around Sea Pines — it’s a defining part of the lifestyle. With over 15 miles of shaded leisure trails and direct access to five miles of beach riding, Sea Pines is a paradise for cyclists of all ages. Whether you’re coasting past golf fairways, pedaling toward the beach, or heading to Harbour Town for ice cream, biking here blends recreation, exploration, and convenience into one smooth ride.

Sea Pines is one of the most bike-friendly communities on Hilton Head Island, offering an extensive network of wide, well-maintained multi-use paths that connect every corner of the resort. Unlike more car-centric areas, many residents and visitors in Sea Pines trade four wheels for two — using bikes to reach the beach, shop in Harbour Town, or visit a neighbor down the street.

The trails wind past lagoons, through canopied forests, and alongside golf courses and marshes, giving riders a front-row seat to the island’s natural beauty. Plus, the hard-packed sand on the beach makes for ideal seaside pedaling — especially in the early morning or late afternoon.

A Day in Sea Pines:
Biking Edition

Your day begins early, with the gentle sound of seabirds overhead and the breeze already stirring through the trees. You hop on your bike and set off down a shaded path, the sun filtering through the moss-covered oaks. A short ride brings you to the beach, where the tide is low and the sand is firm. You cruise along the shoreline, waves gently lapping at your tires as you watch the island come to life.

Later in the morning, you ride through the Sea Pines Forest Preserve, where the only sounds are the hum of your tires and the rustle of palmettos in the wind. You pass other bikers — some headed to Harbour Town, others just exploring like you — and trade a wave or a smile. No one’s in a rush here.

In the afternoon, your bike takes you to lunch in South Beach, to a friend’s villa near the Racquet Club, and to a hidden bench near a lagoon where you stop just to take it all in. As the sun starts to set, you cruise back home, your basket full of beach towels, snacks, and small discoveries. It’s not just a mode of transportation — it’s a way of seeing the island differently.
