South Beach

South Beach on Bald Head Island lets you escape to pristine shores where loggerhead turtles nest in white sand dunes. The car-free environment means your loudest wake-up call will be gentle waves or birdsong. Trek through maritime forest trails draped with Spanish moss or hunt for sand dollars along secluded stretches of coastline. Getting around is refreshingly simple—rent a golf cart, grab a bicycle, or just stroll the island's walking paths. When hunger strikes, beachside cafés serve up fresh Carolina seafood, though reservations are smart during peak season. Vacation homes with wraparound porches and ocean views make perfect home bases for your island adventure.

Golf carts and bicycles are the transportation of choice on this secluded stretch of Bald Head Island. Most visitors stay in oceanfront vacation homes with panoramic views, though you'll want to stock up on groceries before taking the ferry over.
