Chasing Lighthouses in the Outer Banks 🗼🌊
The Outer Banks isn’t just about beaches — it’s home to some of the most iconic lighthouses on the East Coast!
Our first stop: Bodie Island Lighthouse.�Surrounded by marshland and wild beauty, Bodie stands tall with its bold black-and-white stripes, almost like a quiet guardian of the coast. You can’t climb it, but just standing there, feeling the breeze and hearing the birds, you can almost hear the whispers of ships long gone.
Next: Currituck Beach Lighthouse in Corolla.�This one was special — because we actually climbed all the way to the top!�214 steps later (and maybe a few deep breaths), we were rewarded with sweeping views of the Currituck Sound and Atlantic Ocean. The lighthouse itself is stunning — left unpainted in its natural red brick, rustic and proud. From the top, the Outer Banks stretched out endlessly, wild and beautiful.
Finally, we made it to the Ocracoke Island Lighthouse.�It’s the oldest one still in operation here — small, whitewashed, and full of character. You can’t climb it, but walking through the sleepy village of Ocracoke and standing by this historic beacon felt like stepping back in time. Peaceful, timeless, and somehow, exactly what our souls needed.
Each lighthouse had its own story —�but together, they made our journey through the Outer Banks feel like a living adventure book.
