But you've only heard of one of them. Let's see another one.
The Bodie Island Lighthouse is located, yes, on Bodie Island. That's just down the road from the southern bridge connecting the Outer Banks to the mainland.
This the third lighthouse in this part of the world, and it's the one that lasted. The first one began to lean a couple of years after construction, and the authorities decided to give up on it. The second one was blown up by Confederate forces in 1861.
It took a while, but three proved to be a charm. This lighthouse is still working, shining its light every night upon the area. The facility was restored in 2013.
It costs $5 to take a walk to the top and look around. Those less adventurous can stroll around the area and look around the Visitors Center.
