Come explore Lincoln City’s seven miles of smiles on a fat bike.

Route Details

Lincoln City is known for its seven miles of breathtaking beach, and what better way to see it all than on a fat bike. This is a beach ride made for any level of experience. Take the family out for a spin along the ocean or make a bigger adventure by heading north to explore the tidal pools and the cape at Roads End Point.

Getting rolling on this ride can’t get any easier—Safari Town Surf has rental bikes and is the perfect starting point. Use the crosswalk visible from the shop door to cross Hwy 101 and make your way to the beach. If you’re renting, riding on the road for a few blocks is a great way to get a feel for a fat bike. The wide tires give you the feeling of plush suspension while also providing confidence-building stability.

Once on the beach, head toward the hard-packed sand along the waterline—we find that it feels similar to the road and is much easier to ride on than soft sand. Once settled in and with bikes adjusted, ride north toward the large bluff.

Keep the ride light and fun. Stuck to cruising around the sandy area. Explore the sea life and tidal pools, then turn around to head back to Safari Town Surf when you start to get tired. If you're seeking more adventure, you can head all the way north to Roads End Point. Along the way you’ll find more large tidal pools and a few stream crossings to keep you on your toes. You’ll know the turnaround point when you get stopped by the large cliff walls at the northernmost point of the ride. Take in the majestic views, then turn around and make your way leisurely back to town.

Note: You can rent fat bikes in downtown Lincoln City at Safari Town Surf.
