Whether you’re an avid road (or off road) cyclist or
someone who prefers a leisurely paced bike ride amongst the moss-laden live
oaks, Amelia Island is home to miles of bike lanes, trails, paths and beach to
give you a change of scenery every day.
Amelia Island offers over 50 miles of suggested road
biking routes, which include 23 miles of Spanish moss draped dedicated bike
lanes. If you want to ride with the sound of the ocean waves in the background,
Amelia Island invites you to pedal along its 13 miles of coastline for a true
island experience.
Riding bikes around Amelia Island is such a fantastic way
to see the island’s scenic beauty and varied landscapes. The trails really suit
all kinds of riders, whether you prefer smooth, paved paths or a bit more
rugged, off-road terrain. One favourite is the Amelia Island Trail, a nice,
6-mile paved route that runs from Amelia Island State Park down to Peterspoint
Beachfront Park. It’s peaceful, with lovely water views and shaded sections
through maritime forests.

You will find another great ride is the Timucuan Trail on
Big Talbot Island. It’s a bit quieter and is pure nature, perfect for wildlife
spotting, with marshlands and the amazing Boneyard Beach, fallen trees that
look almost mystical. If you’re up for a bit more challenge, the Fort Clinch
State Park Multi-Use Trail offers some rugged mountain biking options in the
northern part of the island.
Bike rentals are easy to find; you can get everything
from high-quality bikes to guided tours and maps. Many trails are part of the
East Coast Greenway, so you’re riding on paths that stretch far beyond just the
island, offering some of the best coastal scenery in Florida.

Island’s over 50 miles of trails make biking a wonderful way to connect with
the island’s natural charm.
