Adventure Tips
Reserve in advance during peak season
Drifters Rentals offers multiple package lengths, but bikes can book up quickly on weekends and holidays—plan ahead to secure your preferred dates.
Use bike paths and respect beach access rules
Stick to designated cycling routes along A1A and adjacent roads to protect local dunes and avoid pedestrian congestion on the beach itself.
Bring sunscreen and hydrate frequently
Florida’s sun is strong year-round—pack sun protection and water to stay comfortable on longer rides along the coast.
Check tides if venturing near water’s edge
While the routes stay primarily on paved and sandy paths, tidal changes can affect some beach access areas, impacting ride safety and surface conditions.
