Bald Head Island, NC

Whether you love boating, nature, golf, the country club lifestyle, or the beach, Bald Head Island's incredibly unique environment is sure to delight you. Leave your car and worries behind on the mainland as you speed toward the northermost tropical island in the U.S. A 20 minute ferry ride delivers you to this unique destination. 

Rich in history, Bald Head Island has been a Native American summer settlement, a Pirate Hideout, a Civil War post, and an important lighthouse marker for seafarers. The island's owners made a commitment early on to preserve the land, not "develop" it. They have kept to strict environmental guidelines, leaving acres of untouched beachfront, dunes, marshland and maritime forest. Wildlife conservation is a top priority, and the island is teeming with unique flora and fauna.

The island is amenity rich, and includes a premium golf course, two country clubs feturing pools, gym, restaurants and southern style verandas, a canoe and boat launch, marina, and miles of walking trails.
