About Bald Head Island

Bald Head Island is a unique place. With no bridge form the mainland, the Island is accessible only by boat, a separation that is at once physical and philosophical. Once you arrive, you'll travel the Island via golf cart, bicycle or walking. You'll no doubt love the slower pace of this special place, but you'll want to know how to prepare in advance.
