Lighthouses of the Outerbanks

The Outer Banks of North Carolina are known for the their beaches and lighthouses. The first picture is the Hatteras Lighthouse on Hatteras Island. We climbed up the interior...268 steps.





Evie on top of the Hatteras Lighthouse and the beaches to the south. Below is a look at the town of Hatteras to the north.


The last time we visited, the lighthouse was being moved on a crawler from its original position due to the beach being eroded. Below are two pictures, the first shows the track the lighthouse followed and the second the site (you can still see the old stone foundation on the edge of the beach).


Below is Bodie Island Lighthouse which is to the north of Hatteras Island.

It must have been quite something to see them move a lighthouse!
