What is the best way to tour all the Lighthouses of North Carolina?
We recommend starting with Currituck at the northern corner of north Carolina. (Unless you are coming from the southern coast on NC. In that instance just reverse this.) You can cover several lighthouses in a shorter amount of time starting from there. You can take Hwy 158/Hwy 12 through the northern Outer Banks. We also recommend staying in Kill Devil Kills. By staying there, you can go to the Currituck Lighthouse about 25 mi. to the north, The Wright Brothers Memorial and Bodie Island, about 10 miles to the south. These three can be seen the same day. The Northern Lighthouses (Currituck, Bodie Island and Cape Hatteras) are all open to the public most days. You can climb Currituck and Cape Hatteras for a fee. Bodie is only open on the lower level on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, from 10am to 2pm, due to problems with it’s stair case. You can continue from there to the south and see the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, about 50 miles to the south (about 40 mi. south of Bodie.) Then cont
