Keepers' House & Currituck Beach Lighthouse in 1895

The Currituck Beach Lighthouse at Corolla is the only light in North Carolina that is still housed in its original structure. The tower is 163 feet tall.

First put into service on December 1, 1875, it still serves as an aid to navigation. Each of the many lighthouses in the region received distinctive painted exteriors to aid identification --except the light at Corolla. It was distinguished by being left unpainted, allowing the visitors to view nearly one million bricks!

The lighthouse is open to visitors from Easter to Thanksgiving. Climb the 200+ steps to the top for a spectacular view of the Atlantic Coast and the Currituck Sound.
