BIKE ROUTES ON SEABROOK ISLAND
Bordered only by rolling dunes and sea oats, stretches of maritime forest, and luxury Lowcountry homes, the beaches on Seabrook Island are idyllic for a beach bike ride or a whole-day adventure. Begin your day with a sunrise and dolphin strand feeding experience at Captain Sams Inlet, search for nesting sea turtles along the shoreline, and cruise through warm ocean breezes all the way to Privateer Point near Camp St. Christopher.
For a romantic sunset bike ride, Pelican Beach (aka Sunset Beach) is the place to be. Biking on the beaches is always best after a high tide and, wherever you stay on Seabrook, you’re either oceanfront or only a short bike ride to beach access.
If you’re not staying oceanfront, there are 8 public boardwalks on Seabrook Island to access the beach for a bike ride – please do not ride bikes on the boardwalks!
Boardwalk 1 & 2 – Oyster Catcher Court
Boardwalk 3 – Beachcomber Run
Boardwalk 4 – Pompano Court
