点评:The ferry ride is short (25 min) but scenic, offering great views of Southport and the surrounding area, as you travel back and forth from beautiful Bald Head Island. I was a little surprised at the inside seating area of the ferry, very dirty and worn. It’s a bit of a walk (as much as 10-15 minutes depending on where you find parking, and how fast you can walk) from the general parking area in Southport to the actual ferry (you can drop off people right at the ferry and then go park) so be sure to give yourself time.
We went mid September on a beautiful Saturday and it was plenty busy. I imagine at the height of the summer it’s much more so. They do limit the amount of people on the ferry so it is not overwhelmed, but some definitely need to be outside if full, only a problem if wet and/or cold. Coming back from the Island, even with reservations, we were unable to board at our reserved ferry time, they were about two ferries (2 hours!) behind! I cannot say if the was a common problem or not. Waiting in a long line to board a ferry for a pre reserved and paid for ride was a less than stellar ending to what was otherwise a perfect day! We chose to wander about longer, until the line slowly shortened.
翻译:渡轮航程很短(25 分钟),但风景优美,当您往返于美丽的秃头岛时,可以欣赏到绍斯波特及周边地区的美景。我对渡轮内部的座位区感到有点惊讶,非常肮脏和破旧。从绍斯波特的一般停车场到实际的渡轮需要步行一段时间(最多 10-15 分钟,具体取决于您找到停车位的位置以及步行的速度)(您可以在渡轮处下车,然后然后去公园)所以一定要给自己留出时间。
我们在九月中旬的一个美丽的星期六去的,那里很忙。我想在盛夏时更是如此。他们确实限制了渡轮上的人数,这样渡轮上就不会拥挤不堪,但有些人如果满了的话肯定需要在外面,只有在潮湿和/或寒冷的情况下才会出现问题。从岛上回来,即使有预订,我们也无法在预订的渡轮时间登船,他们晚了大约两趟渡轮(2小时!)!我不能说这是否是一个常见问题。排长队等待登上渡轮进行预订并付费乘坐,这对于原本完美的一天来说是一个不太美好的结局!我们选择多逛一会儿,直到队伍慢慢缩短。
