If you happen to be in the neighborhood...

This lighthouse rests just off the beach at Oak Island, NC. If you happen to be nearby, it's definitely worth visiting. Believe it or not--the area wasn't saturated with tourists on July 4th weekend!

Stunning area

The lighthouse itself isn’t a showstopper when you compare to other Carolina lighthouses, but it’s an interesting design. The grounds around it and across the street are absolutely beautiful and worth seeing in my opinion. We came at sunset so watching the sun go down...More

Unfortunately it was a weekday and the 4th of July week vacation for us, so we weren't able to go inside. My kids where very disappointed.

Something to do in Oak Island

We always head to the lighthouse after eating at Kai Joe's for tacos. It's a great way to walk after dinner, to let the kids run around, and to get really nice photos with the sun setting in the background and the sea oats swaying...More
