Heaven High & Low

The lucky residents who live on Bald Head Island often quote Henry David Thoreau: "Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads." Located just two nautical miles off the southeastern tip of North Carolina where the Cape Fear River meets the sea, Bald Head Island is the last stop at the end of the state's famous barrier island chain.

Nature trails for walking and golf for memorable outings.

A true retreat from the everyday, there's no bridge to connect it to the mainland. Instead, you must take a 20-minute ferry ride across the Cape Fear River from Southport. There are no cars on the island either. Bicycles, electric vehicles and your feet are the sole modes of transportation.

Unspoiled Beaches, Sublime Golf
With your privacy assured, the 12,000-acre island complex becomes a serene haven for your spirits to soar. Spread yourself out along 14 miles of unspoiled beaches, enjoy 10,000 acres of protected salt marsh and tidal creeks and explore a maritime forest of nearly 1,000 acres. 

This variety allows a host of different living environments in which carefully planned, understated residences and vacation homes quietly blend in.

Fifteen freshwater lagoons make smart shot-planning essential.

Amenities are headlined by the George Cobb golf course, a top-rated layout that offers stunning views of the Atlantic shoreline, while winding around the island's maritime forest and 15 freshwater lagoons. Tennis courts, two croquet greenswards, a 25-meter pool and an elegant clubhouse are all actively used by club members and vacationers.

Everything you love about the beach is here at Bald Head Island.

Boat lovers and anglers have their places, too. A 10-acre marina offers quick access to the Atlantic, Cape Fear River and Intracoastal Waterway, and just adjacent to the harbor is West Beach, a favorite fishing spot.
