Currituck Beach Lighthouse

First lit in 1875, the Currituck Beach Lighthouse stands as the northernmost lighthouse on the Outer Banks. This historic structure is one of the few in the country that still houses its original first-order Fresnel lens. Visitors can experience a unique climb to the top, offering a rare opportunity to ascend and enjoy panoramic views, provided the lighthouse is open. The lighthouse’s enduring presence and the chance to explore its interior make it a long-standing favorite among lighthouse enthusiasts and visitors alike.
