Here's your chance to enjoy the Cape Lookout Lighthouse under starry skies/NPS

Crashing surf, stars overhead, what better way to spend a late summer/early fall evening than to spend the evening at the Cape Lookout National Seashore lighthouse?

The next Evening at the Cape Lookout Lighthouse program will take place on September 24, September 25, and September 26.  This is an excellent time to come experience a different side of your favorite beach.  Watch the sun set and the moon and stars come out over the national seashore's 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 Wednesday, September 16, between 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 p.m. and return at about 9:30 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.
