Welcome to
Bald Head Island
A car-free island reached by ferry — 14 miles of beach, maritime forest, and the Old Baldy lighthouse.
Bald Head Island is one of North Carolina's most distinctive coastal communities, a car-free barrier island at the mouth of the Cape Fear River reached only by ferry. Residents and visitors travel by golf cart, bicycle, and foot, giving the island a peaceful, unhurried rhythm found almost nowhere else. Fourteen miles of beaches, maritime forest, tidal creeks, and the historic Old Baldy lighthouse define its natural beauty, alongside a marina, golf, croquet, and a conservancy dedicated to preserving the landscape. Homes range from cottages tucked among the dunes and forest to luxury oceanfront and creekside estates, many with strong vacation-rental appeal. Southport and the mainland are a short ferry ride away. If you want a private, nature-rich island escape with no cars, world-class beaches, and a truly one-of-a-kind lifestyle on the North Carolina coast, Bald Head Island stands apart.
