While Gulf Shores is known for its sandy beaches, it’s also an ideal destination for adventurers seeking to explore the area’s beautiful backcountry via bike. Miles of paved and backcountry biking trails are scattered throughout the area, and Gulf State Park is one of the most scenic locations to take in the stunning scenery and thriving coastal ecosystems on two wheels.
For a great beach-side ride, check out the Coastal Connection, which is popular for both casual riders and avid cyclists. This route uses a section of the wide bike lane on Highway 182 and runs alongside sugar-white beaches and turquoise waters. The path is accessible from the Gulf State Park Pier or the Rosemary Dunes Trailhead, and is a perfect way to spend an afternoon riding in gulf shores.
Within the park, you’ll find a number of paved and backcountry bike trails that wind through the pristine environment and nine different ecosystems. The Rattlesnake Ridge and Cotton Bayou trails are great places to spot wildlife, including tortoises, armadillos, and many types of birds.
The Coastal Connection also features a stop at the famous Flora-Bama Lounge & Oyster Bar, where you can celebrate your day of exploration with a creamy bushwacker and some fresh oysters. Bike rentals are available on-site, so you don’t have to worry about bringing your own bike if you don’t want to. Just be sure to wear a helmet and stay on the designated paths to avoid getting lost or damaging sensitive plant life.
