Hendricks Head Preserve is on the west side of Southport Island and this small promontory has a lot to offer. The preserve itself has a short hiking trail as well as access to Hendricks Head Beach. The small, but mighty, Hendricks Head Lighthouse makes for great photographs. Just be aware that the lighthouse and keepers quarters are privately owned.
