“Beach Island Loop” Route Details (Watopia)
Introduced in Zwift’s December 2020 update, Beach Island Loop is the first route to use the new Bridge/Islands Bypass – a short stretch of road connecting the JWB Bridge to the 360 Bridge.
This route is a slightly modified version of the event-only Volcano Flat Reverse route, placing riders on a more northerly segment which adds a quick trip through the Italian Villas and a chance for green glory in the forward sprint.

You will begin this route in downtown Watopia, traveling toward the Volcano. Make your way around the Volcano, across the land bridge, and up the dirt switchbacks to the Italian Villas where you will turn left and soon find yourself at the sprint start line. Give it a hard go, and see if you can grab the green jersey!
Just after the sprint banner it’s a quick right onto the Bridge/Islands Bypass. Wave hello to the sea lions, then wind your way over the rollers and turn left onto Ocean Boulevard to head down to the fishing village.
After riding over some docks and dirt you will take the ramp down into the ocean tube, and eventually come back up just a couple of kilometers away from downtown Watopia. Time to gear up for that finish line sprint!
