Bald Head Island - a incredible island off the coast of North Carolina & close to Wilmington.
Bald Head Island - historically called Smith Island - is a small village that borders the Cape Fear River to west and the ocean to the east. The small village of 158 people is accessible by ferry from the small city on the other side of Cape Fear River - Southport. Once you get on the island - they do not allow cars - so you will need to rent a golf cart to get around.
While there enjoy the beach on the east side or the lighthouse - "Old Baldy" - on the west side close to the ferry station. Old Baldy Lighthouse is the oldest still standing lighthouse in the state of North Carolina and was built in 1817.
Bald Head Island is also a popular place for sea turtle nesting and due to the abundance of sea turtles - the residents use the phrase that they are on Turtle Time..
This island of less than 6 square miles is a wonderful place to vacation or the spend the day.
