For scale
As the crow flies54 km
Biking whole way67 km · 3 h 44 m
By car64 km · 1 h 41 m

We found six ways to get you there, ferries doing the heavy lifting.

Note: Most carriers carry only a handful of bikes, and summer weekends fill up fast. Reserve where you can. Where you can't, go early or have a backup plan.
