The only spot on the coast for a MTB ride. Lots of sand and roots, not too technical, but scenic along the Tuxachanie Creek. The Gulf Coast Bicycle Club holds races here.

The Bethel trail system is a set of rehabbed motorcycle trails dating from the mid-70's, which incorporate several trails: Bethel, Couch, Briar Patch, Badlands, and Rattlesnake. Parts are packed dirt, parts are sandy, parts follow a beautiful creek, and other parts are very twisty. It's nearly all singletrack, with lots of bail-out points onto the main dirt road. The hills are few and low, with only one or two challenging climbs. The Couch-Badlands loop is the best section, and has the least sand. The trailhead area has a bathroom (thank you USFS!) and a primitive campground. Bring water, lots in summer. The bottom line is that it's the only large, legal trail system on the Mississippi Coast.
