Little Talbot Island Tour:
Custom Tour for Experienced Segway Riders
This trip takes the state park’s nature trail sculpted through the interior of island. The route goes through the dense, untouched forest of a maritime hammock, into coastal scrub, out to meet the famous 5-mile long, completely undeveloped white sandy beach.
Destination: Pristine, protected beach on the Atlantic. We’ll “park” our Segways at a hitching post and take our break on a remote section of this beautiful beach. You’ll enjoy the solitude - and the shelling - at this remote location.
