Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Night Tours

On Saturday, August 13th, a few dozen lucky people get the chance to climb the tallest lighthouse on the East Coast on a full moon night.  The National Park Service will offer two full moon tours of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.

The tours will be held at 7:30pm and 8:30pm and will be limited to only 30 people each.  Tickets will be available beginning Thursday, August 11th at 8:15am at the lighthouse ticket booth.  Tickets are $7.00 for adults and $3.50 for seniors and kids age 11 and younger.

If you do get a ticket, be prepared for a climb.  There are 248 steps to the top of the 200 foot tower, which has no air conditioning. Climbers are required to bring their own flashlights with fresh batteries.
