Outer Banks Essential Landmarks

The maritime history of North Carolina's Outer Banks is preserved through these iconic landmarks and natural areas. This collection highlights the Cape Hatteras Light Station, the tallest brick lighthouse in North America, and the horizontally striped Bodie Island Lighthouse. The list spans the 70-mile Cape Hatteras National Seashore, encompassing historic lifesaving stations in Rodanthe and the Museum of the Sea. Visitors can explore the region's "Graveyard of the Atlantic" heritage, access undeveloped beaches for shelling, or engage in windsurfing at the Pamlico Sound's Canadian Hole.
