Ocracoke Lighthouse




Not open to the public and never will. The stairs leading up this 75 foot tower go straight up and with a ladder and hatch at the top. However, this lighthouse is my favorite. It is the oldest operating in the US. Right next to it is a small cemetery. The Lightkeeper's home is now a private residence.
