North Carolina lighthouses...Where Adventure and Romance Come Together

Do you love North Carolina lighthouses?

Of course you do!

Throughout history lighthouses around the world have come to represent the adventure and mystery of ships at sea and the lovers waiting for them to return.

Well, the same holds true of the North Carolina lighthouses as well.

There are said to be eight lighthouses on the North Carolina coast but I have also heard of a ninth, yet I have not been there myself. Of course, I am looking into this and will report my findings as soon as I can verify if it is true.

All of the lighthouses have their own story to tell and as you may imagine, they are not only exciting but they offer up plenty of historical meaning to attract the history buffs and the romantics alike!

A great book to read if you love lighthouses and want to know more is Bansemer's Book of Carolina and Georgia Lighthouses.

It's very informative and along with his friendly writing style, you feel like your speaking with a friend, it also has some beautiful pictures that add so much to the overall history of lighthouses. I highly recommend this book if you're planning to do a lighthouse tour!

You can visit the lighthouses any time of year but if you want to get inside,

which I highly recommend,

you will need to call the lighthouses you want to see and ask. Most are open for visits from spring until late fall.
