Oak Island Light, Maritime beacon in Caswell Beach, US.
The Oak Island Light structure rises 153 feet from concrete blocks, featuring a sequence of ships ladders instead of traditional spiral stairs.
Completed in 1958 as North Carolina's final lighthouse construction, this beacon replaced the Cape Fear Light on Bald Head Island that same year.
The National Register of Historic Places recognizes this lighthouse as the single installation in the United States operated entirely by volunteer staff.
From Memorial Day through Labor Day, visitors can join guided tours to the second level on Wednesdays and Saturdays without advance reservations.
Between 1958 and 1962, the Oak Island Light produced the strongest beam signal among all lighthouses in the United States.
