Currituck Beach Lighthouse

Lighthouse stands 158 feet tall, and is located in Corolla, NC. Its first order Fresnel lens began flashing on December 1, 1875. The beautiful bare brick beacon was built to fill the last remaining “dark spot” of the NC coast between Bodie Island and Cape Henry, VA. Prior, many ships foundered in the 80-mile navigational void at night, but the Currituck Beach Lighthouse with its beam visible for 18 miles, help solved the problem.
