Shoals Club
Perched where South Beach meets East Beach on the southern tip of Bald Head Island, Shoals Club offers a private oceanfront escape unlike any other on the Atlantic coast. Named for the legendary Frying Pan Shoals just offshore, Shoals provides guests a resort-style pool complex, coastal cuisine across multiple dining venues, and you can step straight from the clubhouse onto pristine, uncrowded beaches.
Bald Head Island Club
Set at the heart of Bald Head Island, the Bald Head Island Club is a private country club offering a full country-club lifestyle just steps from the sand. A guest membership is optional as part of your stay at Sand Dollar Dreamin, you'll have access to the Club's championship 18-hole golf course — ranked among the top courses in North Carolina — along with the practice range and short-game facilities for tuning up between rounds. Guests can also enjoy the Aquatics Complex with lap and kids' pools, resurfaced tennis courts, and a full fitness center with group classes and personal training. The Club's restaurants and bars serve everything from casual poolside fare to elevated coastal and country-club cuisine, with great views of the golf course or ocean.

BHI Conservancy
The Bald Head Island Conservancy plays a huge role in protecting so much of what makes BHI special. They’re a nonprofit focused on preserving the island’s natural environment—from the sea turtles and maritime forest to the wildlife, beaches, and waterways. They are protecting the island for the sake of conservation; they’re also helping educate residents and visitors about the incredible ecosystem that’s right around us. It’s a big part of why BHI still feels so natural and unique, and why it’s important for all of us who enjoy the island to understand and support their work.
