A Guide to Off-the-Beaten Path Activities and Attractions
Staying at one of our Bald Head Island rentals means adventure is all around you. Between visiting popular attractions and discovering must-try activities, check out some of these more unique adventures.
- Go for a sunrise walk in the maritime forest. Listen to owls settling down and deer passing by.
- Found along the island’s southern edges is a cluster of ancient, wind-shaped oaks known unofficially as the Ghost Oaks. This area has a mystical vibe that needs to be seen.
- Go beachcombing for bioluminescent plankton. On warm summer nights, our shorelines sometimes glow from these little creatures. If you drag your feet gently through the shrug, you can see their blue streaks.
- Join an unofficial sand-spiral or driftwood sculpture session. The island is home to a quiet community of beach artists who create temporary works of art. You might stumble upon them and can join in.
- Go stargazing. Head to West Beach, which is away from the lighthouse area, and you can enjoy a large open expanse of sand perfect for stargazing.
One of the best ways to discover unique activities and attractions is by asking the locals! When grabbing a cup of coffee or enjoying a bit of shopping, ask the employees what they would recommend doing that might be a bit off the beaten path.
