Bodie Island Lighthouse

The National Park Service provides visitors the unique opportunity to climb the Bodie Island Lighthouse and the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Tours are a great way to experience these historic structures. Bodie Island Lighthouse is open seasonally for self-guided tours. Climbing tickets can only be purchased on the day of your intended climb; tickets go on sale daily at 7 a.m. and may not be purchased for future dates. Please be at the base of the lighthouse 5 minutes before your ticket time. Cape Hatteras Lighthouse may not be open for climbing due to ongoing restoration efforts. This tour may be cancelled if weather conditions are unsafe — high winds, storms, and/or lightning in the area.
