Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Bald Head Island?
The best areas to stay in Bald Head Island are the Maritime Forest, the Harbour Village, and South Beach, each offering distinct experiences for visitors.

The Maritime Forest is ideal for those seeking a tranquil retreat. This area is characterized by mature trees and natural surroundings, offering a sense of seclusion. Accommodations here often include private homes or villas, many with screened porches and views of the forest. It's a great choice for couples or families who appreciate a quiet setting and direct access to nature trails.

For families, the Harbour Village provides a convenient and friendly base. Located near the ferry landing, this area is home to shops, restaurants, and the island's marina. It's a central hub where golf carts are the primary mode of transport, making it easy to access everything. The proximity to the ferry and various amenities makes it a practical choice for those with children.

South Beach is a preferred area for beach lovers and active travelers. This stretch of coastline offers direct access to the ocean, superb for swimming, sunbathing, and shell collecting. Many rental homes in this area are just a short walk from the sand, providing easy access for daily beach activities.
When is the best time to go to Bald Head Island?
The best time to visit Bald Head Island is during the shoulder seasons of late spring (April to May) and early fall (September to October), when the weather is pleasant and the island is less crowded.
