Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BICYCLES

Priority beach cruisers built for easy, mixed-surface riding

These are single-geared Priority Bicycles with super-light aluminum frames, comfortable grips and cushy seats — designed to transition easily from sidewalks to sandy paths; each bike includes a combination lock and helmets are available on request (required for riders 16 and younger).

THE ROUTE

Village streets, local shops and a seaside destination

Two hours gives you time to thread the village, browse local shops, stop for a leisurely lunch and, if you like, pedal out to Springer's Point for shoreline views.

THE PRACTICALS

A compact window for getting oriented and relaxed

Start from the shop in the heart of the village and use the rental’s two-hour span to sample Ocracoke’s pace — ideal for a single outing without committing to a longer guided tour.
