Explore at your own pace sandy beaches, coastal routes, picturesque coastlines, tranquil lanes and fresh local food. Discover the freedom of the open road, the sun on your shoulders and the wind in your hair on an island where the scenery changes from mile to mile, from wide and flat beachside roads to tree-lined country lanes. Experience the island by bike, give yourself time to think, let your mind wander and experience the island and all the ambiance with all your senses.
Sark is one of the most beautiful islands to explore by bike. With no cars, cycling is the primary mode of transport on the island, making it safe and fun.
