North Carolina Lighthouses: The Stories Behind The Beacons From Cape Fear To Currituck Beach

Of the over four dozen lighthouse that once dotted the jagged shoreline of North Carolina, only nine still stand, watching over 300 miles of coast. These remaining beacons, though technically obsolete, are cherished monuments of North Carolina history. Instead of warning ships to safer waters, their presence now draws thousands of visitors each year, from historians to tourists.
