Bodie Island Lighthouse
Bodie Island Lighthouse was completed in 1872 and is seen here in 1893. It has recently received sufficient funding to make structural repairs and clean the original first-order Fresnel lens. Beginning in April 2013, you can once again climb the 214 steps to the top for unparalleled views of the Outer Banks.
