Bald Head Island Vacation and Trip Information

Bald Head Island, North Carolina’s southernmost cape island, was developed by the same family that takes credit for The Woodlands in Texas. “Born” in 1983, Bald Head’s natural landscape spans salt marshes and maritime forests, most of which lies under the protection of developers and nature conservationists.

Take a port ferry from Southport to the island, where you can traipse across 14 miles of beaches set on the Atlantic Ocean. Navigate the area on electric carts, as no cars are allowed on this tranquil island. Tour the Old Baldy Lighthouse structure, which turned 175 in 1992. Visit the oceanfront Shoals Club, which hosts activities year-round, from parades to wine tastings to brunches.
