Biking

To help you stay safe and avoid scenic-but-treacherous cycling roads, we’ve rounded up our favorite places to get out on two wheels while you’re visiting the Cape.

Red Jacket Bicycle Cruisers

Biking is an exceptional way to see the Cape, from coastal shorelines to dense landscapes. If you're interested in exploring the peninsula and getting in some exercise at the same time, this is your best bet for a memorable adventure.

When it comes to biking, the best place to start is the Cape Cod Rail Trail, which stretches from South Yarmouth to Wellfleet thanks to a recently completed extension project, and begins just minutes from our resorts. The fully paved (and mostly flat) Rail Trail runs 25 miles in length, so it’s a great day trip for an experienced cyclist. It’s also great for families who want to see different parts of the Cape without having to pile into the car. Other fun areas include the Cape Cod Canal Bikeway (also paved) and the off-road trails at Hathaway's Pond Conservation Area.

Resorts Where You Can Bike

All of our resorts are on bike-friendly roads, but Green Harbor is especially bike-friendly. The West Yarmouth resort offers complimentary rentals for guests and kids are encouraged to learn to ride their bikes while staying there -- we give out certificates of accomplishment for every new rider that conquers their bike-riding fears at Green Harbor! We offer complimentary custom Red Jacket bicycle cruisers at Red Jacket Beach, Blue Water, Riviera Beach, and Green Harbor Resorts.

The closest resort to the Cape Cod Rail Trail is Blue Rock Resort, which sits a half-mile (or 1 minute if you're on two wheels) from an entrance to the path on North Main Street between Whites Path and Laban Lane.

Before you head out for a bike trip, make sure you have a map of the area, the phone number for the front desk at your resort, and plenty of water with you.
