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.
We also had a chance to visit the Oak Island Pier, a very active fishing pier, right in the heart of town.
With beautiful views from the pier in our minds, it was time to head south again, to see what we might find next.
