Pedaling Through Paradise

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for unique experiences that combine fun, food, and a bit of adventure. So when I heard about the Bikes, Bites, and Brews tour on Tybee Island, I knew it was a must-try. The idea of cycling through a charming beach town while sampling local delicacies and craft brews sounded like the perfect way to spend a sunny afternoon.

Our adventure began with a warm welcome from our tour guide, who was not only knowledgeable but also had a great sense of humor. We hopped on our bikes and set off on a scenic route that showcased the island’s natural beauty. The gentle ocean breeze kept us cool as we pedaled along, making the ride enjoyable for everyone, regardless of age or fitness level.

A Feast for the Senses

Our first stop was Huck-a-poo’s Pizza, a local favorite known for its laid-back atmosphere and delicious pies. We settled on the shady deck, sipping on cold beers while waiting for our pizza to arrive. The combination of crispy crust, gooey cheese, and fresh toppings was a hit with everyone in our group. It was the perfect start to our culinary journey.

Next, we visited the Tybee Island Marine Science Center, where we learned about the island’s conservation efforts and marine life. It was a great educational stop that added depth to our tour. We continued our ride, taking in the sights of the beach and the iconic lighthouse before arriving at Salt Island Fish and Beer. Here, we indulged in two pounds of the freshest local white shrimp, served with cocktail sauce and butter. The portions were generous, and the flavors were simply divine.

Brews and Views

Our penultimate stop was the Back River Brewery, where we had the chance to sample a variety of craft beers. Each brew was unique and delicious, and it was clear that the brewery took pride in their creations. It was a refreshing break and a chance to chat with fellow tour-goers about our favorite flavors.

The final destination was Zunzibar Restaurant, where we were treated to a spread of nachos and handmade dips, accompanied by a delightful coconut cocktail. We sat at picnic tables under large umbrellas, enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and sharing stories from the day’s adventures. It was the perfect way to end our tour, leaving us with full bellies and happy hearts.

Overall, the Bikes, Bites, and Brews tour was a fantastic way to explore Tybee Island. It offered a perfect blend of activity, relaxation, and indulgence, making it an ideal outing for families and foodies alike. If you’re planning a trip to the area, I highly recommend adding this tour to your itinerary. It’s an experience you won’t want to miss!
