Wednesday, May 6, 2026 · Bald Head Island, NC
Sea turtle season is now underway on Bald Head Island and continues through November 15. Property owners, renters, and visitors are being asked to help keep the beaches safer for nesting turtles by filling in holes, flattening sand structures, and avoiding hazards that can block a turtle's path. If you spot a nesting turtle, the Conservancy asks that it be reported to the wildlife hotline.
