Hatteras Island

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Hwy 12, Hatteras Island Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, standing at 208 feet, is the tallest in the United States. The lighthouse is painted in black and white spirals, with a red base. Its light can be seen for 20 miles, warning ships of the submerged sand bars where so many ships have foundered. The present structure, the second tower, was erected in 1869-1870 by the U.S. Lighthouse Board. A first-order Fresnel lens magnified a small oil wick flame at the tower's top, which was lit for the first time on December 16, 1870. It was replaced by a rotating beacon--a double affair with 1000-watt lamps in each beacon--visible for 20 miles. However, it has been reported as being seen 51 miles at sea and 115 miles in the air. The "Double Keeper's Quarters" is used to house the "Museum of the Sea" and the Buxton Visitor Center. Open for climbing Good Friday to Columbus Day. Admission is $6 for adults, $3 for children 12 and under. 252-995-4474 National Park Service: Cape Hatteras Lighthouse
