Long and Short Pathway Routes
This map gives you a choice of two accessible Pathway Routes.
Island History Pathway Route
The Island History Pathway Route brings you by places with local history, including the Island’s place in the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. There are information signs along the way.
Beach Area Pathway Route
This map brings you to the public beaches.
Hilton Head Island’s hard sand beaches are perfect for bicycling.
You can also ride your bike on the beach. The sand here is hard enough so that you don’t flounder like you would on a lot of other beaches.
Cyclists pushing their bikes around the path
The Pathways go to Hilton Head Island parks. Most parks have public restrooms.
You cannot use Hilton Head Island Pathways with anything that has a motor. You cannot ride a horse on the Pathways.
