How cute is the Ocracoke lighthouse? 😊 It was built in 1823 and is the second oldest lighthouse still in use. The house on the right was the lighthouse keeper’s quarters but now is a private residence.

You can’t climb up this one as it’s closed to the public. The closest you can get is walking to the end of the boardwalk.

To get to Ocracoke you have to take a ferry so this lighthouse takes a bit of work to get to!

Ocracoke Island Update:
Hyde County will allow visitors back on Ocracoke Island starting this Friday morning using the Swan Quarter to Ocracoke and the Cedar Island to Ocracoke ferry routes. Cape Hatteras National Seashore’s visitor center, off-road vehicle permit office, and campground on Ocracoke Island will also reopen this Friday morning.

For those planning a trip to Ocracoke Island over the next week or two, be aware that the Hatteras to Ocracoke ferry route remains closed because more repair and cleanup work is needed at the north end of the island. The ferry route from Hatteras will be reestablished by the NCDOT Ferry Division once the northern end of the island is safe for travel again. For updated ferry schedules, go to (https://twitter.com/NCDOT_Ferry) on Twitter.

We look forward to seeing the return of visitors to Ocracoke Island starting this Friday morning!
