Reviewed By Runnernurse1990 - Searcy, United States

We decided to take a break from the sea and sand and rented bikes for the day. We have been coming to the beach for years and have never rented bikes. This will be a must from now on. We had a GREAT time and this company was SO easy to work with. The staff was great ( the lady that greeted us and took our payment was friendly and welcoming and the man that helped us with our bikes was energetic and fun). The bikes that we had were well maintained, the trail was easily accessible and an easy ride. Although it was HOT, the trail offers plenty of shaded places. I would suggest that you bring bottled water, sunscreen, and even a hand towel to wipe your face. It was a great experience !!!
