Ocean City Tour de Seashore - Smart-guided TAB Bike Tour to Bethany Beach

Experience Ocean City Boardwalk by bike! Explore this Atlantic Coast playground of boardwalks, bikeways, beaches, bars, amusements, museums, and more!

Ride on the iconic Ocean City Boardwalk and explore numerous attractions along the gorgeous Atlantic seashore north to Bethany Beach, Delaware, and back. From beaches to bars to museums to amusement parks to restaurants to people-watching to art shops to unique boutiques there is no shortage of discovery opportunities while enjoying this great Atlantic coast environment by bike.

The tour starts on Ocean City Boardwalk. Biking is allowed only between the hours of 2 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the summer season (Memorial Day through Labor Day). It is allowed any time of the day and night in the off-season from the Tuesday after Labor Day to the Friday before Memorial Day. You can ride the wooden planks or choose the cement pathway alongside it. With so much to see and take in, there is not enough room to provide an adequate list of recommendations.

From Ocean City Boardwalk the tour route continues north into Delaware. The feature attraction on this tour segment is Fenwick Island State Park Beach. "The white sand beaches gradually slope into the Atlantic, creating a broad swimming area patrolled by lifeguards during the summer... features a modern bathhouse, showers, changing rooms, park office, and a snack food concession." If you are planning to swim - this is the spot! It is CycleNuts tested and approved. Entrance to the park is free on foot and bike. Usually, there is a long line of cars waiting to get into the park, but by bike, you can ride past the line.

Beyond Fenwick Island State Park Beach, the adventure continues north to the turnaround spot at Bethany Beach Boardwalk. There are a lot of little shops and tasty spots snuggled around this scenic boardwalk. Bikes are only allowed on the boardwalk between 6 and 9 AM - but there are plenty of bike racks to lock up to if choosing to explore the boardwalk and beach on foot. The tour attractions do not end once you leave Bethany Beach to return to Ocean City. Adventure awaits all along the way. Often there are festivals, community events, and live music in parks along the route.

All bikes are appropriate for this smart-guided TAB (There-And-Back) Tour. The 33-mile smart-guided route is 83% bikeway and comes with CycleNuts' 50% downhill guarantee. In most places, the bikeway is a full bike/bus lane - big enough for buses, which share it. The route follows the topography of the land which is very flat. The ocean breeze may at times give you some opportunity to use your bike's climbing gear. Sweating is optional and perhaps unavoidable due to the wondrous sunshine and oceanfront humidity. You set your pace, starting time, and touring agenda with CycleNuts' expert smart-guided cycle tour guide. Keep in mind that bicycles must be off of the Ocean City, MD boardwalk between 11 AM and 2 AM.
