Five Romantic Ways to Propose on Bald Head Island

You finally found the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. The next part is key. How will you pop the question? After all, this story will be told over and over, year after year. Bald Head Island is the perfect place to propose now here’s some ideas on how to make it spectacular! 

Bald Head Island’s 14 miles of pristine beaches are a beautiful place to propose. Remember, timing is everything! Plan a walk on the beach to catch the sunset. Make it to the spot where you’ve written “Will You Marry Me?” in the sand just as the sun goes down. When she turns around, there you'll be with ring in hand! 

If you’re an adventurous couple, plan a surprise scavenger hunt through Maritime Forest Preserve. Start off with a simple hike through the woods when you spot a clue. One clue leads to the next, ending with a picnic beneath an enchanting canopy of trees and you on one knee. 

For history buffs and something truly unique plan a romantic proposal at the top of Old Baldy. Old Baldy is North Carolina’s oldest standing lighthouse. Climb 108 stairs to experience unparalleled views of the surrounding waterways. Getting engaged at the top of a historic lighthouse, now that’s a story! 

If you’re a laid-back couple who likes to relax option four is for you. Spend the day together at Island Retreat Spa and Salon. A couple’s massage followed by a romantic dinner for two at Mojo’s on the Harbor. Watch the boats come in as you dine on fresh seafood and fine wine. Finish the evening with Mojo’s famous Lava Cake A La Mode and “Will You Marry Me?” etched on the plate.  

If this proposal will include family, then put them to work. Hit the beach for an exciting paddle board trip. While the two of you are in the middle of the ocean planning to spend the rest of your life paddling together, your family will be preparing for the surprise. Approach the shore with family and friends holding up signs that say, “Will You Marry Me?”  

However, you decide to propose, make sure it's fabulous! Bald Head Island wishes you a happy engagement and years of success. Now let’s talk about a destination wedding on Bald Head Island!
