What is the best time of year to explore all of the lighthouses?
Most of the lighthouses are open from late spring to early fall for touring, but the grounds are open year round. Anytime of year is a great time to see the lighthouses. It all depends on what time of year you like. Spring is also a good time since it hasn’t gotten too hot yet and shops around the lighthouses that may have closed for the winter are opening up.Summers are a hot time to go but a great time if you want to get a little beach time in. My favorite is late summer or fall. The temperature is a little cooler but you have to keep an eye on the weather since that is prime hurricane season for the Outer Banks. Winter is a great time to visit too. You’ll need to check ahead of time for the hours the lights are open since most go to a short schedule in the winter.
