Currituck Beach Lighthouse
Currituck Beach Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Corolla, United States.
The red brick lighthouse stands 49 meters high and features a gallery, lantern, and adjacent keeper house on the North Carolina coast.
Built in 1875 under architect Paul J. Pelz design, this lighthouse filled the last remaining dark spot between Cape Henry and Bodie Island.
The structure represents maritime heritage of North Carolina Outer Banks, serving as a central point for local community gatherings and events.
Visitors can climb 220 original steps to reach the exterior gallery, while the first-order Fresnel lens remains active for maritime navigation.
The structure maintains its natural red brick exterior, unlike other regional lighthouses that received traditional paint schemes.
