Bald Head Island - Southport NC Romantic Getaway

Preview: Have you been saving your pennies for a romantic tropical vacation – in the Bahamas or Hawaii perhaps? Well, paradise is closer than you might imagine. Just two nautical miles off the southeastern tip of North Carolina, and 25 miles south of Wilmington at the mouth of the Cape Fear River is a semi-tropical island, with miles of pristine beaches and a wealth of exceptional animal and plant life just begging to be explored. Bald Head Island is just 2,000 acres, although another 10,000 acres of protected salt marsh creeks and maritime forest have been deeded to the State of North Carolina. There are, however, a surprising number of activities available to guests here, with most of them, naturally, centered around the water. We have learned that sometimes the simplest plans are best, and a romantic weekend at Bald Head Island certainly lends itself to enjoyment of the simple pleasures. Here the hustle and pressures of day-to-day living will seem a distant memory as you explore the 14 miles of pristine beaches. This chapter contains romantic places to stay, the best restaurant discoveries, and the fun activities and special moments that a couple will remember forever.
