Before I had kids my wife and I vacationed on "Bald Head Island" or "Old Baldy" better known as "SMITH Island". I went there for about 5 years each summer. This is a great island. NO CARS (just golf carts), an AMAZING golf course with no one on it, professional croquet and tennis courts one of the best build marinas for sport fishing boats a bunch of high end summer houses ..oh and CAPE FEAR is on the eastern most point...I surf fished that beach! It has one of the most NASTY rips I've seen....goes out for miles. We rented a cottage that was about a 1/2 mi beach walk to the point one year...simply an amazing place. BEWARE if the weather turns crappy there and get the hell out of there...I am not kidding, houses float away like it is nothing.
You probably saw some of the island... the movie "weekend at Burny's" was filmed there as well as a couple horror movies.
I have not seriously fished the place...just a casual couple weeks in the sun for a few years. I think you will like it...just pray for calm seas.
