The Outer Banks of North Carolina boasts five gorgeous lighthouses, including this one on Bodie Island. One of my favorite memories with my in-laws is a trip we took just over a year after my husband and I were married to the Outer Banks. The only lighthouse we did not see during that trip was The Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse. I would love to go back one day and see that one, too!
Along with this gorgeous Southern Snapshot you will find a fun activity to do with children building a lighthouse from the blog, Gypsy Road, as well as a Lighthouse Unit for home schoolers or simply for teaching kids about lighthouses!

I went to NC once with an old boyfriend who surfed. We saw the lighthouse that was later moved away from the beach. I’m not sure if it’s the same one.

Very Nice Snapshot. Such a beautiful place
I am dying to visit North Carolina myself. I have family there and I just haven’t had a chance to go yet.

Oh, Lesley, you definitely should make that a goal for this year if possible! I grew up in North Carolina and it’s a beautiful state.
I drove through North Carolina a few times. I always heard good things, but never did visit.
I love this shot. I would love to visit North Carolina one day. It looks stunning

What a beautiful picture, I truly love lighthouses!
I do love to go around and see lighthouses. They have one in Michigan and a couple in Ohio that I really, really like.
My husband and I love lighthouses. We spent one vacation visiting and taking pictures of the ones on the New England coastline. So much fun!

There is something magical about lighthouses. 5 of them is really awesome. I wish I could come and see them first hand but for now your pictures will have to do. Thanks for posting!
