Bald Head Island Vacations

Experience the beauty of Bald Head Island, located just twenty minutes off the coast of North Carolina where the Cape Fear River meets the Atlantic Ocean. Arrive by passenger ferry or private yacht and get ready to be enchanted by this unique island getaway. Transportation on the island is by golf cart, and the only high-rise you’ll find is “Old Baldy”, North Carolina’s oldest standing lighthouse, dating back to 1817.

Bald Head Island is a nature lover’s paradise, with 14 miles of pristine beaches, 2000 acres of majestic dunes, and a lush maritime forest spanning the island. The island also boasts 10,000 acres of salt marshes and tidal creeks, protected and preserved by the Bald Head Island Conservancy Group in collaboration with UNC-Wilmington marine biologists. The conservation efforts extend to the indigenous loggerhead turtles, which are sustained by a dedicated team of community volunteers.
