New Policy Note from Rumbling Bald Resort:

For the past few years, we have heard from our resort guests and members how challenging it can be to find seating on the beach and at certain amenities during their stay. To improve their experience, we are implementing a “wristband” policy in effect for July 4th only. Wristbands will only be available to resort guests and members. We ask that you wear one during the day to gain access to the beach, pools, and the fireworks show that evening. These specific areas and events are not open to the general public. All resort guests will receive their passes and wristbands at check-in. No further action is required.
Our hope is with this one-day wrist band policy, all our members and guests will enjoy a truly memorable July 4th at Rumbling Bald Resort.

Enjoy your July 4th celebrations!
