Our poster features a ship, harkening back to the island's significance in the early exploration of North America by the Spanish. But Bald Head Island also held significance in both the Revolutionary War as a British fort, as well as during the Civil War where it served as a Confederate base.
The island is only accessible by ferry for people - but that makes it an ideal island for sea turtles! Bald Head Island hosts a renowned program that protects sea turtle nesting.
