The Bodie Island Light Station stands 165 feet above Bodie Island in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Erected in 1847, the lighthouse was destroyed and rebuilt in 1859 and 1872 due to Civil War conflicts. The structure was also renovated between 2009-2013 to add a spiral staircase visitors could use to climb to the top.
The lighthouse is distinguished from other lighthouses in the area by its black and white daymark, and since it is part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, it is easily accessible to locals and tourists. Map
