List All NC AttractionsBald Head Island Lighthouse
Southern Coastal North Carolina's Bald Head Island, is the home of a historic landmark. This not-to-miss attraction is the Bald Head Lighthouse. The original lighthouse, built in 1794, guided ships away from the coast at the mouth of the Cape Fear River, as they made their way to Wilmington. The original lighthouse was replaced by "Old Baldy" in 1817, when the land started to erode along the river bank.
The octagonal brick "Old Baldy" was built farther back off the coast, away from the shifting sands. This 110 foot tall beacon remains North Carolina's oldest standing lighthouse.
The first lighthouse keeper was American Revolution veteran, Sedgewick Springs, who owned the Sedgely Abby Plantation, located close to the lighthouse. Due to the lighthouse's location off the coast and the thick fog, a lightship was added on the Frying Pan Shoals and a fog bell was positioned near the lighthouse.
Once the Oak Island Lighthouse was built in 1958, "Old Baldy" was decommissioned. Visit this historic treasure, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, for a glimpse into the past. After a day along the coast, check into a comfortable Best Western guest room and enjoy a wonderful night's rest.
Battleship North Carolina
The Battleship North Carolina was the first American battleship to join the fleet, during World War II, in 1941. She was "considered the world’s greatest sea weapon" and earned 15 battle stars during her participation in each naval offense in the Pacific area operations. The Battleship was decommissioned in 1947. She was brought back to her current berth on the Cape Fear River in Wilmington in 1961.
Enjoy a self-guided tour on 9 levels of the Battleship. Guests of the Best Western Plus Coastline Inn enjoy views of the Cape Fear River, along with exceptional service and amenities. Travelers along the North Carolina coast rest comfortably with Best Western.
