By NPT Staff - July 20th, 2015

Visit Cape Lookout National Seashore at month's end and tour the lighthouse at night with rangers/NPS

The next nighttime tours of Cape Lookout Lighthouse are scheduled for Thursday, July 30; Friday, July 31 and Saturday, August 1.

These tours offer a great opportunity to experience a different side of Cape Lookout National Seashore on North Carolina's Outer Banks. Watch the sunset and the moon and stars come out over unlit beaches. Hear stories of the light keepers and experience the lighthouse and island as the keepers did, in the dark of night with only the light of the moon to see by.

Reservations are required for an Evening at Cape Lookout Lighthouse and may be made beginning on Tuesday between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. To make a reservation, call 252-725-9373.

The cost of the program is $23 (price includes ferry fee) and is non-refundable (weather dependent). There will be one evening ferry trip on each date for all the climbs on that night; the ferry will depart Harkers Island at 7:30 p.m. and return at about 10 p.m..

Children joining the climb must be at least 44-inches tall and must climb the steps on their own. Children 12 years of age and younger must be accompanied by an adult (16 or older). Footwear is required as well.
