Cape Hatteras Lighthouse
Buxton, North Carolina | 180 Miles
Shining brightly to warn sailors of the treacherous Diamond Shoals off the North Carolina coastline, the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse was constructed in 1870 to replace the original 1804 light station, which was destroyed during the Civil War. Rising 208 feet into the sky, Cape Hatteras Light is the tallest brick lighthouse in the United States. Its black and white spiral stripes are a distinctive feature of Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Our suggested route includes two scenic highways: Pamlico Scenic Byway and Outer Banks Scenic Byway. Pamlico runs along Pamlico River and Sound, and Outer Banks Byway crosses North Carolina’s barrier islands, offering sun-splashed views of the Atlantic Ocean, nature and wildlife preserves and small historic towns.
