Incorporated as a municipality in 1985, the Village of Bald Head Island has all the powers, duties, rights, and privileges granted and imposed upon municipalities by the general statutes of the State of North Carolina. The Village of Bald Head Island's vision is to provide quality public service through mutual respect, trust, communication and enhancement of community values. Bald Head Island is a unique barrier island community where we strive to live in harmony with nature. This fragile barrier island contains four ecosystems comprised of beachfront, dune ridge, maritime forest, and the marsh. As a community, we strive to live in harmony with each other and our island visitors, respecting the land and our way of life.
