Bald Head Island Yacht Club (founded 2001) hosts the free Summer of Music Concert Series at Marina Park—featuring bands like The Embers and Tru Sol. Members access 14 miles of beaches, championship golf, and maritime forest trails.
Family highlights include BHI Conservancy’s nightly Turtle Walks (June-September) to witness endangered loggerhead hatchlings, marsh crabbing programs at their 700 Federal Road campus, and GPS scavenger hunts. Rent golf carts from Cary Cart Company or bikes from Coastal Urge to explore hidden gems like the 300-year-old Timmons Oak and restored 1903 Cape Fear Station keeper’s cottages.
The marina provides fuel service, 30/50/100-amp electric hookups, pump-out stations, and a new bathhouse with laundry. Charter fishing trips launch from here—Impulsive Charters targets Gulf Stream tuna and wahoo on their 38-foot Bertram, while Rodfather Charters specializes in backwater fishing for families.

Walk to nearby Bald Head Woods Coastal Reserve, a 191-acre maritime forest added to the Old-Growth Forest Network in 2025, where M. Kent Mitchell Nature Trail winds through ancient live oaks.
