About the Bodie Island Lighthouse
The Bodie Island Lighthouse, located at 8210 Bodie Island Lighthouse Road in Nags Head, North Carolina, is a historic tourist attraction with a fascinating past. Built in response to the high number of shipwrecks in the area, the lighthouse has a tumultuous history with multiple failed attempts before the current tower was completed in 1872. The lighthouse, equipped with a powerful first-order Fresnel lens, has been a vital navigational aid for ships along the treacherous coast.
Surrounded by pine trees and marshland, the Bodie Island Light offers a unique and picturesque setting for visitors to explore. The keeper's duplex, now a ranger office and visitor center, has been restored to its historic charm. The lighthouse itself underwent a recent restoration in 2013 and continues to operate as a functioning navigational aid.
Open seasonally for public tours, the Bodie Island Lighthouse stands as a reminder of the area's maritime history and the dangers faced by sailors navigating the waters known as the "Graveyard of the Atlantic." Visit this iconic landmark to learn more about its fascinating past and enjoy the stunning views from the top of the tower.

Reviews of Bodie Island Lighthouse
"The lighthouse is managed by NPS and it in a beautiful location offering several interesting views for photography. Best night photography here would be during the new moon when it’s really dark. Even better if it’s during the months when the Milky Way is visible. I noticed a source of light pollution where I’d look for the Milky Way so I can’t say this will be a great Milky Way photo location. I think the light pollution source is fairly new."
"A must see on your Outer Banks trip! We ended up making it just after the store closed, but we’re still able to walk around and take pictures. We were able to see the light function as well, just before sunset."
"One of the three lighthouses featuring the classic black and white paint scheme on the Hatteras National Seashore, the Bodie Island Lighthouse was built in 1872 and stands nearly 160 feet. The grounds around the lighthouse are spectacularly maintained. Climbing to the top is by purchasing tickets in advance."
"A very cool lighthouse with great views of the area. Unfortunately the walk to the top of the lighthouse was closed for the season, but we were able to tour the base to learn more about the history, and the oil room."
"Lovely all around. Great view from the top, although I would not recommend the climb for those who are height-averse. As explained by the guide before you go up, only one person can climb a single flight of stairs at a time and they do feel a bit rickety at times."
