Fabulous ferry trip...saw Banker Horses near the shore line & multitudes of water fowl. Glorious. Very friendly & informative staff at lighthouse visitors center. Beautiful beach . An incredible day.

I love the history of the lighthouse and family's that live their. Beautiful view from the lighthouse of all the surrounding scenery.

To get to the island and lighthouse requires a ferry ride (currently $15/person). If you don't want to go to the island , there are 2 free visitor centers, in Beaufort, NC and on Harkers Island, NC.

Great day trip out to an undeveloped island . Bonus: a real lighthouse .

Not a lighthouse you can drive to - be prepared.

Walk right up to the lighthouse! So much history! Bring your own water or a brita bottle. The water on the island is pretty rough. - Brenton Marcom
