Here is a bike loop on the Schoodic Peninsula with continuous ocean views, rugged granite shores, and pine forests. The route is about 14 miles with roughly 555 feet of climbing, and takes around an hour and a half. Waves break against the rocks at Schoodic Point, which is also a good picnic and rock-pool spot at low tide. The southern parking area gives access to a pebble beach facing Little Moose Island, and restrooms are near the parking lot.
