Old Baldy Lighthouse & Smith Island Museum, Bald Head Island

On a recent trip to Bald Head our family of three took a historic island tour organized through the lighthouse and it was phenomenal! We were picked up straight off the ferry and given a comprehensive tour of the island. Cold water, bug spray, and sunscreen were all provided and the water was a must on a super hot summer day. Our tour guide, Travis, was absolutely amazing. He had great knowledge and history of the island and answered everyone’s questions with patience and detail. The tour lasted two plus hours and covered all the highlights of the whole island. It ended at the lighthouse grounds where we were able to visit the museum and climb the lighthouse. The best way to make the most of a day trip to the island.

Great visit! We all climbed to the top, even 4 year old! Wonderful view from the top, nice museum. Reasonable price. A great outing for the entire family. I would recommend it!
