Handicapped Beach Access on Bald Head Island
According to the Village of BHI:

The Village has received a Division of Coastal Management (DCM) beach access grant to purchase and improve a vacant oceanfront lot. The Village will be installing a new handicap access on the purchased property located near the Bald Head Island Club between public beach access #15 and #17, which is near the entrance to the Bald Head Island Club. As of early February 2021, the land had been surveyed and the ramp is in the design phase.

NOTE: In anticipation of the new beach access being built a few lots away, beach access #15 has been modified and is no longer a handicapped access. Until this new access is complete, the emergency vehicle accesses can be used (#11, #24B, #35 and #42). Beach Access #42 is the shortest path to the beach.
