Ocracoke Lighthouse
Ocracoke Lighthouse
Located at the southern end of a series of barrier islands in the Outer Banks, NC. Recently refurbished an excellent example of early American engineering Ocracoke Lighthouse.
Remote and only reachable via a ferry, the Ocracoke Lighthouse is quaint and beautiful but can only be viewed from the outside.  They do not allow you inside the lighthouse.

The remote Ocracoke Lighthouse is on an island and is only reachable by ferry.  Definitely worth the trip though as the beaches on the island are beautiful.  View a full video guide of the lighthouse here:  https://www.hdcarolina.com/episode/ocracoke-lighthouse

The cottage was adorable, clean, and perfect for my husband and son. Janelle responded to every question we had quickly and made sure the boys had a great time. They have already requested this spot again for their spring fishing trip.
