A few weeks ago, we spent the weekend in the Outer Banks, NC. On the Outer Banks, there are 4 lighthouses – Currituck Beach Lighthouse, Bodie Island Lighthouse, Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and Ocracoke Lighthouse. We were able to visit 2 of the 4 lighthouses this time.
The first lighthouse we visited was Bodie Island Lighthouse. It was cloudy and lightly raining but we stopped and walked around for a few minutes.
The Bodie Island Lighthouse is near Nags Head on the Outer Banks. According to nps.gov you can climb the lighthouse tickets are $8 for adults. There are quite a few regulations about climbing so be sure to check the website. We didn’t climb the lighthouse because of the rain and having a baby that needs to be carried.
According to NCbeaches.com there have been 3 lighthouses built at this location. Each lighthouse has had a unique problem, it seems that all the problems have been solved since shortly after the 3rd lighthouse was built in 1872.
The lighthouse is open seasonally from the third (3rd) Friday in April through Columbus Day.
