Fodor's Expert Review Currituck Beach Lighthouse
Northern Beaches
Nautical Site/Lighthouse
Fodor's Choice
The 1875 lighthouse was built from nearly 1 million bricks, which remain unpainted on the exterior. Except in high winds or thunderstorms, or during winter when the lighthouse is closed, you can climb 220 steps to the top of the northernmost lighthouse on the Outer Banks, taking in the view toward Virginia and south to Nags Head.
