Vacations are the perfect time to kick back and relax. They’re also the perfect time to go on memorable adventures. For a destination that lets you easily combine both of these, plan your escape to Bald Head Island with Munroe Properties. This coastal North Carolina island is filled with endless activities that balance relaxation and adventure. If you’re looking for something to do that has you explore the waters that surround Bald Head Island, go kayaking. 

Where to Find Kayak Rentals

Kayaks are not the easiest piece of equipment to bring with you. Luckily, there are two great options on Bald Head Island where you can find everything you need for a paddling adventure.

Coastal Urge has options for both self-guided and guided excursions. If you want to learn about the island’s history and wildlife, book your spot on an outing with one of their expert guides. For those who would rather explore at their own pace, they also offer single and double kayak rentals for a range of times.

Another great option is Riverside Adventures. You can rent a single or double kayak for a day or up to a week. They also offer guided and self-guided tours. A self-guided adventure is two hours and has you exploring Bald Head Creek and Fishing Creek. The guided outings take you to the same places, just under the direction of a knowledgeable guide.

Where to Go Paddling?

If you are simply getting a rental and going on your own adventure, you may not know where to go kayaking. Here are our favorite spots.

  • Bald Head Creek is ideal for beginners. The creek takes you through salt marshes with calm water and is ideal for birdwatching. 
  • Another top spot is Fishing Creek and the marsh system. This is ideal for more adventurous paddlers as the interconnected marsh creeks on the island’s north side offer a more remote experience.
  • Experienced paddlers will enjoy kayaking portions of the Cape Fear River. The scenery here is breathtaking, especially near West Beach and Cape Fear Point.

No matter where you are kayaking, tides can play a role in how enjoyable your outing is.
