Bald Head Island (Video) sits two miles off the coast of Southport, North Carolina. It is a popular NC island destination among day trippers and long-term travelers because of its unspoiled beaches, forest preserve areas, and temperate weather. The island offers plenty of family-friendly outdoor activities, and there are also several historical sites on Bald Head Island that visitors can see as part of the Historic Island Tour. They can also visit the Smith Island Museum or participate in a treasure hunt with the island's performing troupe at the local sail shop. For accommodations families can choose from motels, hotels, or beachside condominiums and homes.
