By bike
Most of the roads on the island are gravel and dusty and bumpyâ¦definately mountain bikes and wide tires. That said, in the town you can get around very easily on a bike on the paved roads near town.
If you're up for a gravel road bike adventure then Beaver Island is a great spot with lots of areas to explore.Beautiful sandy beaches and also trails through old growth forests. The island is about 14 miles long, in fact it's shaped a lot like the island of Ireland. It's a nice and friendly place to visit.
