Pet Friendly Vacations on Bald Head Island

Bald Head Island is a one-of-a-kind place that boasts unmatched beauty everywhere you look. Getting to experience the magic of the island is something you’ll be eager to share with others. Since our beloved pets are often treated just like family, you might wonder if you should bring them. We say YES! You should bring your extended family (aka your dog) to Bald Head Island because we are all pet-friendly here.

Since there are no vehicles on the island, only golf carts and bicycles, taking your pup for leisurely walks will be an exciting sightseeing event. There are 14 miles of pristine beaches as well as the marshes and hiking trails to explore together. Just remember to always keep your buddy on a leash so he doesn’t get away from you.

New in 2023, Fido can even go to the spa. A visit to Salty Paws BHI at 2 Maritime Way, will certainly be one of the highlights of Fido’s stay.  Wash the sand away, purchase some swag, and top it all off with a treat. It is Fido’s day! See more at https://saltypawsbhi.com/.

No need to worry about where to stay since Intracoastal Realty’s Bald Head Island office has a number of pet-friendly homes available to accommodate you. Upon arrival, your four-legged friend will even receive a special gift box that includes treats and a toy! For vacationers with a smaller number of people traveling, you can book Charlotte's Place,  Bia’s Beach House, or Our Tern, For bigger parties around 8 to 10 people, check out Laurie’s Loft, BHI Sand Castle, Hidden Shamrock, Tiki Dachniki, Hat Trick, or SeaWinds which each feature a loft or crofter for extra space. We also have you covered if you are traveling with over ten people,  Roger That!, Marsh Madness, Opportunity Knocks,  My Three Dunes,  and Sea Star.

Don’t leave little Fido home with a sitter this vacation to miss out on the fun. Bring your furry best friend to Bald Head Island with you! You’ll both love the salty air and the miles to run free. Grab some snacks at Maritime Market or Sandpiper Ice Cream & Coffee and cuddle up for your best vacation yet. Don’t forget to submit a photo of your favorite memories at Best of BHI, prizes awarded.
