Ocracoke Lighthouse was constructed to help guide vessels through stormy waters. Still a striking feature of the landscape today, it's bound to have some stories to tell about sailing rescues and triumphs.

When it comes to sightseeing in Ocracoke, Ocracoke Lighthouse is a favorite with travelers. And in good news for your budget, entry is free. Ocracoke Beach, Ocracoke Pony Pens and Teachs Hole Blackbeard Exhibit will round out your day and are not far from the longstanding beacon.

Only a few parking spaces, on a very narrow road. We were unable to park and only got a glance at the lighthouse.
