My wife and I stopped in to climb the lighthouse during a labor day beach vacation in Kitty Hawk. The Carolina outer banks lighthouses are all rich in history, and Currituck is no exception. It is a beautiful monument to our past and a worthy visit. I wish they took credit cards or checks instead of just cash though. We had to go back to an ATM down the road just to be able to climb the lighthouse. The reason for the four stars is the staff. Some of them are very friendly, but others are a little standoffish. I still recommend stopping in if you are in the area.
I stopped here as it was the only lighthouse still open to climb this late in the year. The visit was great as we were the only ones in the lighthouse for our climb up and down. The view from the top was great, but there was some strong winds, so I did not venture the whole way around the top of the lighthouse.
This is one of the most beautiful lighthouses we have seen and we have seen lighthouse from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Friendly staff.I love climbing the lighthouse every year.Great views from the top!Its a great experience,wheather you are 60 or 6.
Great information from displays on the way up. Fabulous views from the top! Great photo ops. Lots of steps, but landings allow rest on the way if needed.
She's beautiful and well maintained. Get a lemonade at the Skarett guys stand (sp) really good. Hit Corolla Village Barbecue around the corner.
Wonderful guides, extremely informative and smart as well as entertaining! Don't miss it and be sure to climb to the top! Four year olds do it! Great view !
We stopped here on one of the last days of our vacation and it was calm with not a lot of visitors. Walked the grounds, the gift shop is great, but as mentioned in another review the museum in the lighthouse base could use a little more. All in all it is not a time intensive visit which is good with a family of small children. The climb isn't bad and there are plenty of landings if you need a break or let people pass. Show a little courtesy when climbing/descending and you will have a nice enjoyable visit. There are also large clean bathroom facilities.
Enjoyed seeing this beautiful red brick lighthouse, but disappointed that it was closed and only open in summer months.
Inside the light house was really neat to see. The steps going up were pretty neat, and made some people nervous. The view from the top is awesome. very good learning experience for the kiddos.
