Cape Lookout
Lighthouse - continued:
 Whether
or not you get to climb the lighthouse at Cape Lookout, the scenery
is worth the visit. This view of surf fishermen (right photo)
is testament to that. But being able to climb the tower and see
the views
of Shackleford Banks, the "Emerald Coast" and the dazzling vistas
around the cape certainly makes a trip to Cape Lookout a special event.
Having the tower rehabilitated so that "daily public access" is
a reality will definitely serve to draw more visitors here. Hopefully, these pages will help make people aware of what needs to be done at Cape Lookout for that to happen, and why climbing the tower has not been an option in the past. Let us hope that it will not be too long before "daily public access" is a reality for Cape Lookout Lighthouse. |
 
Before
we leave Cape Lookout, let's take
one last look around with this final
collection of photos. The coal shed
is now gone from in front of the
Keeper's Quarters in this photo from
the sound at left. Looking due
east at the lighthouse you see the
white
diamonds on a black background in
the photo at right. Below left shows
the beacon, which is on 24 hours
a day. More scenes around the lighthouse
and lighthouse views from around
the area are included below. |
