Biking on the beach

The sand is so soft and deep that I think you would have to drag the bike out to the water, and then hope you don't sink down in the wet sand. I don't walk on the beach much because it is hard to find consistently firm sand to walk on- I can't imagine trying to bike.

May I correctly assume that biking is permitted on the beach? I've done a bit of searching and cannot seem to arrive at an answer.

Yes it is permitted, but the only time I have seen it done successfully is after a hurricane when the sand is packed. As Jdarg said it would be very difficult. There are however 17 miles of bike path along 30-A and numerous trails in Pt Washington State Forest to enjoy.

If you go biking on the beach, Please oh PLEASE let me know when you'll be doing it. I love to watch others suffer 😀

...and if you ride on the beach, be sure you do so on a bicycle that you don't mind throwing away after a few months. Rust is a real b_tch on metal.

I love a challenge! RiverOtter, watch for me June 9-16.

Big Daddy's Bike Shop rents a bicycle with really wide tires, for riding on sand. It looks cool too.

Jeez, because of the lack of rain, the sand is so soft that a workout walk on the beach is a *major* workout. Can't imagine biking on it. Even the sheriff's trucks are having trouble. One passed me on Thursday on Seagrove Beach slippin', slidin', and squeakin' in that soft sand.

Check out the Florida trail reviews on mtb.com. Good Ohio mountain biker on an excellent full suspension bike advises you leave the bike at home. It would be bad enough by yourself on dedicated trails that are barely rideable; why add looking like a fool to it by trying it at the beach?

Happy riding!

Do not leave your bike home! The long leaf pine trail is some nice singletrack through the coastal forest. It is soft due to being long time dry, but a fun ride. Big daddy's rents the pugsly with tires so wide the rear triangle is offset. ride at low tide. Ride don't drive!
