Bald Head Island, a unique barrier island off the southeast coast of North Carolina, offers a pristine, scenic environment of dunes, marsh, tidal creek, semi-tropical maritime forest, and 14 miles of
beaches. Park your car at quaint village of Southport and take the ferry over to the island. Transportation on the island is by golf cart, bicycle, or rollerblade. Once there, you and your family will enjoy quiet walks on the beach, dining on the water in the harbor village, kayaking in the marshes, or spying abundant wildlife in the nature preserve. Expect to see heron, kingfisher, and a variety of water birds in the beautiful lagoon meandering below. The Island is beautiful and quiet, yet at the same time has the facilities you need... a modern grocery, casual-a modern grocery, casual-to-elegant dining, ice cream shop, several clothes/gifts stores.
