Top 6 Fun Historical Places to Visit on the OBX - #4
#4 - Take a Tour of the Area's Lighthouses
Some of the Outer Banks' most renowned landmarks are its lighthouses. Currituck Beach Light with it's red brick, Bodie Island Light with its horizontal stripes, Cape Hatteras Lighthouse with its candy-cane black and whites, and Ocracoke Lighthouse in its austere white... they're beloved by the locals and visitors alike. All lighthouses are still functional; in fact, Ocracoke Light is the oldest working lighthouse in North Carolina. Only the Currituck Beach Lighthouse and the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse are currently open for climbing, though you may visit the grounds of the other lighthouses. I have a special place in my heart for Bodie Island Lighthouse, I was married nearby and several of my wedding photos have the lighthouse in the background. Visit outerbanks.org for more information on the lighthouses, as well as their location and contact information.
