Pre-Spring Fling on Bald Head Island

Need a weekend get-away? Looking for a vacation spot that you can get to before the vacationers do? Look no further because pre-spring is the best kept secret on Bald Head Island. This is the locals’ favorite time of year which means perfect weather without the crowds. With Presidents Day this Monday why not make it a 3 day weekend you won’t forget! 

You ride the ferry in on Friday afternoon and check in to your premier Bald Head Island property. You head to Mojo’s on the Harbor for an early dinner and a beautiful sunset! Remember, some places are closed for the season but you’ll be fine. You have your favorite bottle of wine and a deck of cards waiting to carry you through the night under a sky full of stars on your back porch.  

Saturday morning you sleep in then hit the golf course. The “Stay and Play” package not only gave you a great rate on this property but also gives you a discount on golf. Being that it’s slow season, you have your pick on tee times at a lower rate to boot! Wow… can this vacation get any better? 

Why yes it can! There’s a wine dinner at the Bald Head Island Club at 6:00pm. You’ve reserved a table and looking forward to a low key evening with delicious fare and fabulous wines!  

Sunday comes and it’s the perfect day for a bike ride. With over 15 miles of roadway to ride you can explore the island by bike. You pick up a couple of sandwiches from Maritime Market café along with their famous house-made potato chips. Then peddle to the beach for a picnic in the sand.  

Before heading back to reality on Monday you decide to pay Island Retreat Spa a visit. Feeling refreshed and renewed you take a leisure walk on the beach to catch a breathtaking sunset. A classic end to a carefree 3 day weekend on Bald Head Island!
