PRICES CREEK LIGHTHOUSE

Built in 1849, this Lighthouse was never again lit after the Civil War. It only stood twenty feet but was one of the seven North Carolina lighthouses that lit the way for sailors along the North Carolina Coast.

During the Civil War, it was used as a confederate Station and although the other lighthouses were destroyed when the confederates lost control over the rivers, this one was spared. Going to see this little light is not easy.

Since the lighthouse is on private property, it makes it difficult to get up close.

So, if you really want to see it, your going to have to see it from the water!

The ferry at Southport is the place to get the best view.

But my recommendation...

Get up close to the other lighthouses for a real treat!

• Bald Head Lighthouse
• Ocracoke Lighthouse
• Cape Hatteras Lighthouse
• Bodie Island Lighthouse
• Cape Lookout Lighthouse
• Currituck Lighthouse
• Oak Island Lighthouse
