Just two nautical miles off North Carolina’s southern coast, Bald Head Island offers a true sense of belonging.

It’s a place where you come to unwind, enjoy the company of family and friends, and celebrate traditional seaside pastimes. Here, time is measured by the ebb and flow of the tide, rather than clocks or calendars. You’ll arrive by passenger ferry, then travel the island by golf cart, bike or on foot, savoring an unhurried way of life we call “Turtle Time.”

Welcome to the neighborhood

Homes, homesites and shared ownership cottages are available in a variety of beautiful island settings – fronting the island’s East, West and South Beaches, nestled in the forest, overlooking a tidal creek, bordering the golf course, or rimming the harbor.
