The Bodie Island Lighthouse has watched over North Carolina’s coast since 1872 — a beacon of safety along the treacherous “Graveyard of the Atlantic.” This is the third lighthouse to bear the Bodie name, after its predecessors were lost to poor foundations and Civil War destruction.

Its 156-foot tower still shines with a first-order Fresnel lens, guiding ships through the dark waters just as it did over 150 years ago. Restored and preserved, it’s a living piece of maritime history. ⚓️🌊
