Lighthouse pics

Kill Devil Hills, NC


We just got back from a wonderful 3 days at the beach. I have lived in NC for 30 years and have never been to the Outer Banks. The Outer Banks has lots of beautiful beaches and lots of lighthouses. We went to 3 different ones. We stayed at a hotel on Kill Devil Hills. The weather was great. It was in the low 70's for 2 days then warmed up to 85 the last day.

Bodie Island Lighthouse
This stands 156' tall. They let only 8
people climb at a time and its every 20
minutes. We had to wait about an
hour to climb up. Charlie climbed,
I stayed on land and took pics.


Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse - this is in
Manteo, NC. It only stands 37' tall and you can
not climb up it but it was still neat to
look around inside. It's in a quaint little
downtown area with shops and restaurants

This is the Cape Hatteras
Lighthouse. It's the tallest lighthouse
of the 3 we saw. It stands 208' tall. 

Charlie climbed to the top. Lots of stairs!

Thanks so much for sharing! We have lived in NC for 5 years and have never been to the OBX either! We have had plans to go a couple of times but the trips were cancelled due to our recent hurricanes :( I think we need to plan an early summer trip the next time! Wonderful travel pics! :)
