Whether you are a first time visitor to the Outer Banks or a regular vacationer there, Bodie Island Lighthouse should be on your must see list. My favorite time to visit is just before sunset. It is awesome.

We had spent most of the day in Hatteras and didn't have time to tour this lighthouse. So we just pulled into the parking lot and took in the scene. The weather was perfect and the lighthouse was set perfectly against a blue sky. Maybe next time we'll have more time and we can climb up to the top.

This is cute for a quick drive-by. The Cape Hatteras lighthouse is much more impressive. The beach close to this lighthouse, Coquina, is amazing! Def go there and then drive by this.

Sun came out just in time to see the lighthouse. Tickts to go up into the lighthouse were sold out for the day so buy in advance. Its a beautiful setting.

I loved this place! Very educational for the kids. They even had a drinking fountain for dogs. This is very thoughtful. Inside the lighthouse was very neat. A good climb to the top, but our family loved it.

Interesting lighthouse manned with park personnel. They're friendly and knowledgable without being in your face. Great photo opportunities and scenic views. Worth the 8 bucks admission in my opinion.

The climb to the top was worth it. The park staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Incredible views await!!

This is a beautiful lighthouse on a very well kept part of the Cape Hatteras Nat'l Seashore. We decided not to take the tour up to the top, but instead walked out on the elevated trail to a viewing area in the marsh. Very pleasant with nice picture opportunities, including of the lighthouse itself. Nice stop for 30-60 min if... More 

I really enjoyed this park. It has the lighthouse you can go in but the walkway out onto the water was really good. It was a great spot for scenery and wildlife both.
