North Carolina’s Lighthouses

North Carolina’s Lighthouses

Most people visiting the Outer Banks of North Carolina want to visit at least one of the lighthouses. And we have lighthouses! The following is a driving tour from north to south along coastal North Carolina. Of the existing towers, you have a choice of seven lighthouses to visit, and you can see the ruins of an eighth. These light stations are so interesting that days can be spent in the surrounding area of each one, but you can adjust the length of your stay according to the amount of time you have, whether it is to make a quick stop or to linger. Visit a lighthouse soon! North Carolina has gained two “new” lighthouses. A reproduction of the Roanoke River Lighthouse can be visited on the lovely waterfront in Plymouth. Another reconstruction is located on the beautiful Manteo waterfront. Both were built according to the original plans of these “sound” lights that once dotted more than two dozen places all through the state’s sounds and rivers and are reminders of our close connection to the sea.

Outer Banks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Outer Banks are a 100-mile 160-km long string of narrow barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina, on the East Coast of the United States. They cover approximately half the northern North Carolina coastline, separating the Albemarle Sound and Pamlico Sound from the Atlantic Ocean.

The Outer Banks are a major tourist destination, and are known for temperate weather and wide expanses of wide open beachfront.

The Wright Brothers first flight in a powered, heavier-than-air vehicle took place on the Outer Banks on December 17, 1903, at Kill Devil Hills, near the sea-front town of Kitty Hawk. The Wright Brothers National Monument commemorates the historic flights, and First Flight Airport is a small, general-aviation airfield located there.

An English colony—where the first person of English descent, Virginia Dare, was born on American soil vanished without a trace from Roanoke Island in 1587. The treacherous seas off the Outer Banks and the large number of shipwrecks that have occurred there have given these seas the nickname Graveyard of the Atlantic. The Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum is located in Hatteras Village near the United States Coast Guard facility and Hatteras ferry.
