| Our last stop for the day was at the Bodie Island Lighthouse. This is the third lighthouse we have seen on the Outer Banks. There are four lighthouses on the Outer Banks. There is also one just south of the Outer Banks called Cape Lookout. We didn't know anything about that one, until the day before we were leaving for the OBX. I guess we will catch it on another visit |
 |
| The Bodie Island Lighthouse was first lit in 1872 and is 156 ft. tall. |
 |
| Visiting hours that were posted on the door. |
 |
| After visiting the lighthouse, we walked on a boardwalk off to the side. |
 |
| It leads you to the marsh area along the sound side. |
 |
| It takes you to a gazebo above the water. |
 |
| A great place for birder's, but I think most have migrated farther north by now.. |
 |
| The lighthouse light can be seen for 19 miles. |
 |
| This lighthouse is not currently in operation or open to the public to climb up. |
 |
| The Visitor Center staff said it should be back in operation in a couple of years. |
