The whole area that the lighthouse was in was a great place to walk around and learn about the area's history and biology. The lighthouse itself is tucked way in the trees so it's not a good place to get a shot with the whole lighthouse in view. There was a bride having her wedding portraits done.

Tucked in amongst the trees, you might not hear much about this lighthouse compared to some in NC, but it's very pretty and they have nicely kept grounds. Only one other building is open - and it's a HUGE gift shop in an old house. Worth the visit!

Very windy up there. I was more fascinated with the staircase than the lighthouse itself. Gift shop was cute. Make sure you go around the corner to the old downtown Corolla area and eat some BBQ for lunch at the little white stand next to Twiddys Rentals.

This is a privately owned attraction and they are doing an excellent job. 214 steps. No problem untils the next couple of days, but you should still do it.

We visited three light houses while on the outer banks. this was the only one we were able to climb. It is simply beautiful, inside and out. The views from the top are breath-taking. I wish I realized how beautiful the surrounding area is as well. Bring a picnic and stay awhile. It's stunning.

Lovely grounds with restored Victorian buildings and striking lighthouse. It adjoins a wildlife center and a wooden walkway out into the marsh. Great photo ops.
