SOL in Rehoboth Beach, DE - Smart-guided Short One-way Loop Bikeway Tour

Experience Rehoboth Beach oceanfront bikeways, boardwalks, beaches, parks and memorials, museums, beautiful trails, and more.

74% of the route is bikeways - trails, boardwalks, bike lanes, pedestrian/bike bridges; the rest is Google Maps designated "bicycle-friendly roads". This short 19-mile tour passes through several beautiful oceanside parks including Cape Henlopen State Park, Fort Miles Artillery Park, and Gordons Pond State Park area.

Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk is a unique cycling opportunity, but it comes with seasonal bike and dog restrictions - "bikes are allowed on the boardwalk only from 5-10 am May 15-September 15.

Making an early start to the smart-guided tour gets you on the boardwalk for a relaxing ride and off in time to miss the peak pedestrian traffic.

Passing through Cape Henlopen State Park the tour route runs through history-rich Fort Miles Artillery Park. The World War II conflict is memorialized with several outdoor artillery artifacts, a museum, and numerous preserved batteries and lookout towers throughout the park.

On the list along this tour route are Rehoboth Beach, Whiskey Beach, Deauville Beach, Cape Henlopen State Park Beach, Gordon's Pond Beach, North Shores Beach, Johnnie Walker Beach, and Savannah Beach.
