Fat Biking in and Around Pacific City

Cape Kiwanda Fat Bike Route

Try your hand at cycling on a fat tire bike right on the beach in Pacific City. Start on the sand at Cape Kiwanda and head in either direction. You’ll pass sites such as the bridge over the Nestucca River and Bob Straub State Park, where the crowds and sounds fade away and it may just be you, your bike, and the peaceful sounds of the ocean. To head north from Cape Kiwanda, you’ll have to first scale and descend the massive dune that blocks your path. If you’re up for the challenge, continue on the other side toward the town of Tierra del Mar and Sand Lake before making the return trip. Those who are really feeling ambitious may want to take on the 15-mile route between Cape Lookout and Pacific City.

Fat Biking Tips

Consider scheduling your cycling session for low tide, when the sand is hard packed and easier to traverse. Be aware of rogue waves as you pedal near the shoreline, as well as beachgoers, horse tours, and other vehicles driving on the beach, all things you’re likely to encounter along your way. If you’d rather not venture out on your own, consider booking a fat bike tour with outfitters such as Safari Town Surf Shop, where you can also obtain the rental gear you’ll need.
