Nighttime Experience at the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse!!!
Lighthouses are a popular attraction, and what better time to appreciate one than at night? Cape Hatteras National Seashore is offering the unusual opportunity to climb to the top of the venerable Cape Hatteras Lighthouse on a new nighttime tour.
These special tours will be offered on Thursday evenings only, beginning on May 28 and ending on Sept 3, 2009. The tours will be conducted on those evenings at 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. Due to the limited space inside the structure, each program will be limited to 15 people.
Tickets can be purchased on-site, on the day of the tour only, between 8:15 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. and are nonrefundable. Important information about ticket costs and procedures for both the nighttime tour and the regular daily climbing tours is available on the park website.
Participants need to bring their own flashlights for illumination during the climb. This is a great chance to observe the lighthouse beacon in operation from an unusual perspective.
The current Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, completed in 1870, is the tallest brick lighthouse in North America.
