Adventure Tips
Stay Hydrated Along the Coast
Carry water, especially in summer, as coastal breezes can mask dehydration during longer rides.
Use Bike Lanes and Trails
Stick to designated bike paths to safely navigate heavy pedestrian zones near the pier and beachfront.
Prepare for Wind Near the Ocean
Expect gusts and adjust your riding stance to maintain control on open stretches adjacent to the water.
Check Battery Charge Before Riding
For electric bikes, ensure a full battery to avoid mid-ride power loss along the extended coastal trails.
