Rules & Regulations
Biking on the Beach
E-BikesThe term "E-bike" refers to two or three wheeled bikes with fully operable pedals and an electric motor.
Taking your bike to your campsiteSea Camp and Stafford Beach CampgroundsBikes can be taken to Sea Camp and Stafford Beach Campgrounds. They must stay on designated roads and cannot be taken on trails. (They can be taken the short distance from the main road to Sea Camp). Wilderness Campgrounds Bikes can be ridden north on the main park road but they cannot be taken to the wilderness campgrounds. They can be set off the side of the road (within 15 feet) and can be secured to trees. Familiarize yourself with the wilderness boundary (marked on the map) and watch for wilderness boundary signs on the island. No mechanized transportation can be used within congressionally designated wilderness. Unpaved RoadThere are no paved roads on the island. All roads, including the Main Road, are sandy surfaces. Conditions can vary but often the surface is soft, making riding more difficult and slower. Bikes will need wider tires to be ridable (no thin street tires). Biking to Plum OrchardPlum Orchard is a 14 mile round trip. If road conditions are poor it can take several hours. Water is available at Sea Camp & Plum Orchard only, so fill up before heading out. Not recommended for short day trips. | |
