Review:
Bald Head Island can only be reached by ferry or by private boat, but it's an excellent vacation spot for people looking to get away from it all. It also happens to be incredibly pet friendly; there are no vehicles on the island, and dogs and other animals are welcome on the ferry. The island is ringed by 14 miles of beach, and off-leash dogs are permitted on all of them at almost every time of the year. However, this changes during turtle nesting season, when dogs must be kept on a leash between sunset and sunrise.
