Oak Island Lighthouse and Pier
Before leaving Oak Island, NC, we wanted to look around a little bit. Our first stop was the lighthouse. It is the newest lighthouse in North Carolina, and was built to replace the steel lighthouse on Bald Island. It doesn’t have a traditional spiral stair case. Instead, it has a series of ships ladders (131 steps) to get to the top. It is 153 feet tall, and can be seen for 16 nautical miles.

Oak Island Elks Lodge
We ended up on Oak Island, NC tonight, and decided to see if we could stay the night at the Elks lodge, number 2769. What a friendly lodge! We enjoyed a drink and shared an order of their homemade chips, and they were phenomenal! I would definitely order them again! The lodge is a block off the beach in a great location! They have a wonderful second floor deck with a cool breeze and an ocean view. They allowed us to stay over night in their parking lot. There were no hookups, but a nice quiet spot away from the street. They didn’t have a set fee for the overnight stay, so we gave them a $20 donation.
The view from our van. We were three rows back from the beach. Not bad.
