The oldest operating lighthouse in North Carolina, the present Ocracoke Lighthouse sits on a picturesque, quaint island with beautiful beaches and a charming village. It can only be reached by ferry.
Before 1875, ships sailing by the North Carolina coast faced a 40-mile "blind spot" between Bodie Island and Virginia's Cape Henry. Then, the Currituck Beach Lighthouse in Corolla was created.
This expansion not only reinforces Lighthouse's commitment to serving families but also contributes to the local economy by creating jobs and bolstering North Carolina’s healthcare offerings.
