Leave vacation anxiety behind when you stay in Bald Head Island vacation rentals

As the southernmost of North Carolina’s cape islands, Bald Head Island invites you to escape into a world of unmatched natural beauty and enjoy an environment where quiet and calm are always the order of the day.

It is easy to see how rest and relaxation come easily to those who decide to venture off the coast since Bald Head Island boasts a notable absence of cars. You can’t drive to this little piece of paradise; you must board the ferry in Southport and leave behind the need to speed along from one attraction to the next.

Riding along in your electric cart or strolling past the historic Old Baldy Lighthouse, you can begin to enjoy the stunning environments that comprise this barrier island wonder. The 14 miles of white, sandy beaches that wind their way around Cape Fear are a great place to start as they converge at Frying Pan Shoals and feature a range of recreational pursuits from swimming and sunbathing to surfing and sailing.

However, Bald Head Island is more than just a place for your typical beach getaway. The lush maritime forest and the M. Kent Mitchell Nature Trail offer excellent nature and wildlife-viewing opportunities, while the acres of salt marshes and the Bald Head Creek are perfect for a family-oriented afternoon of kayaking and canoeing.

Although the natural features of the island are certainly the main attraction, be sure to set aside some time to enjoy the polished and stunning terrain of the Bald Head Island Golf Course. Designed by George Cobb, this is one seaside treasure whose ocean views and rolling dunes will both challenge your game and leave you spellbound before another relaxing evening in your Bald Head Island rental.
