Review & FAQ:
Bald Head Island is just a 20-minute ferry ride from the mainland and feels almost like its worlds away from everyday life. Visitors even leave their car, hopefully along with their stress, behind. The journey from the small town of Southport in North Carolina across the Cape Fear River to the the island is around two miles. Before making the short trip, visitors can stop at the Old Baldy site, the oldest standing lighthouse in the state, dating back to 1817. Bald Head Island boasts approximately ten thousand acres of untouched maritime forest preserves, marshes, and beaches.
