Hatteras Lighthouse
This place is a gem. Look at the beautiful base, the tiled floors and the huge two story fresnal lens, now removed.
It is 257 steps to the top. Not everyone makes it. Lots of Americans are out of shape. And it is windy up there. On this day, it was calm on the ground but 25+ mph winds at the top. The next day when Nanci visited, it was almost 60 mph winds and she was the last one up before it closed due to the winds.
From the top you can see the Rodanthe water tower, 25 miles away. You can see the cape and all the fisherman congregated there. You can see the spot where it used to be and the swath that was cut to move it.
