20-inch Retrospec: Built for Small Riders
A purpose-sized, single-speed 20-inch beach cruiser designed for ages 5–8 prioritizes comfort and control. The fleet includes complimentary helmets and the option to attach a small basket so kids can carry water, snacks, or souvenirs on the ride.
Cruise the Strand and Local Highlights
Rentals are intended as a complement to a family day out—pick up at the Beachside check-out, receive a short demo and safety briefing, then set off to cruise the scenic Strand and pass nearby local highlights before returning your gear.
Easy to Slot into a Family Day
These bikes let younger riders keep pace with adults on relaxed coastal stretches. Because the model is meant for kids and shorter riders, trailers are not attached to these bikes and taller individuals are advised to choose a 26" cruiser instead.
