Located on the North Carolina coast between Cape Henry and Bodie Island lighthouses in Corolla is Currituck Beach Lighthouse. It bears the distinction of being one of the only lighthouses in America that still houses its original first-order Fresnel lens, which continues to flash today at 20-second intervals. The beacon, which can be seen for 18 nautical miles, comes on at dusk and ceases at dawn. It’s also the last brick and mortar lighthouse built in the state. Don’t miss the climb to the top, where you’ll be greeted with expansive views of the Currituck Sound, the Atlantic Ocean and the northern Outer Banks.
