The present light that you see pictured is located in the outer banks of North Carolina four miles north of Oregon Inlet and was built in 1872. It stands 156 feet tall and can be seen for 18 nautical miles. The first light was built in 1847 and was abandoned in 1859 due to an eroding foundation. The second light was destroyed during the Civil War.
