Biking Adventures Await in Cape May and Sussex Counties

There’s nothing more exhilarating than setting out on a biking adventure on a sunny day, and the scenery from the trails, bike lanes and boardwalks of the Twin Capes region is downright dazzling. 

Bike the Boards!

Cape May and Sussex Counties have some of the most colorful boardwalks you’ll find anywhere, making them great places to start off your day with a rise-and-shine bike ride. Cape May’s nearly two-mile span of paved promenade is open to riders from 4 a.m. to 10 a.m. In Cape May County, bikes are welcome on the Wildwoods boardwalk from 5 a.m. to 11 a.m. weekdays (10:30 a.m. weekends), and from 5 a.m. to noon in Ocean City. Cruise Rehoboth Beach boardwalk from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. 

Cape May County

Pedal at your own pace and enjoy the view on the scenic road that runs the entire five-mile length of the Wildwoods (North Wildwood, Wildwood and Wildwood Crest). North Wildwood has a dedicated “bikes only” lane, as do the picturesque towns of Avalon and Stone Harbor. A bike lane on Sunset Boulevard connects the city of Cape May with Cape May Point State Park and the Cape May Lighthouse—a family-friendly ride of more than seven miles. Or you can make a day of biking portions of the 46.7-mile Cape May County shoreline. The loop begins and ends at Cape May Lighthouse. Highlights include Stone Harbor Bird Sanctuary and Cape May Nature Center.

Seashore Lines

Special rail bikes are designed to ride the tracks of the Seashore Lines railroad for four miles from the heart of Cape May. Along the way, you’ll pass through bird-filled wild meadows. Rent a double rail bike for $80 or a quad for $140.

Location: Behind 609 Lafayette St., Cape May, NJ
Info: (856) 263-2675, seashorelines.org 

Sussex County

Right across the street from the Cape May-Lewes Ferry Terminal is a bike trail that will bring you into the heart of downtown Lewes in only 1.6 miles. Or head to Cape Henlopen State Park, where five trails with distinctive characteristics await exploration. The Lewes section of the park is connected to the Rehoboth Beach section by Gordon’s Pond Trail, an easy 3.2-mile ride on fine crushed gravel with an elevated boardwalk. 

Another path that connects the two resort towns is the five-mile Junction and Breakwater Trail. Riders are rewarded with stunning ocean views and historic sites like World War II observation towers that were part of an important coastal defense system, along with ammunition bunkers built into the sand dunes. There’s also plenty of natural beauty— forests, farms, dunes and coastal marshes.

Bike Path Cape Henlopen

For a quick jaunt, take the sand-packed, 0.6-mile Salt Marsh Spur, the shortest trail in Cape Henlopen State Park. What it lacks in length, it makes up for in plant and wildlife encounters. You can also take the Bike Loop, a three-mile circuit that passes through the beach, Nature Center, observation tower and Fort Miles Historic Area, a former World War II military base situated among the dunes. Or ride through woods and tidal marsh to the Great Dunes conclusion of the 2.5-mile Walking Dunes Trail.
