If you are the kind of person who wouldd rather paddle acanoe that careen about on a jet ski there is a vacationdestination designed with you in mind. And even though youdont have to travel halfway around the world to get thereit is an extraordinary departure..barely two nautical miles off the southeastern tip of northcarolina is a semitropical island with a lifestyle asrefreshingly novel as its name Bald Head Island. But thedistance is measured in more than miles. Steeped in historyflavored with legends and brimming with natural beauty itsabout as far removed as you can get without a passport..with views that stretch from sunrise to sunset over dunesand beach river and ocean maritime forest and a vast saltmarsh its a setting that blurs the distinction between factand fantasy. As a matter of fact hollywood has discoveredthis ready made movie set over the past few years and itisnt uncommon to see the occasional celebrity tooling aboutthe island on a bicycle or an electric cart.
