200+ steps but doesn't feel like it! Every landing has a place to stop and rest as well as some with fans. Worth it when you get to the top though! Beautiful views and nice breeze.

Don't forget to visit all the shops in Historic Corolla Village-just go to the end of the Lighthouse rd. and turn right!

John Saquella

Went 4pm and while there was no one there it was also about 100 degrees outside and even hotter on the walk up. But the views from the top made up for it!!!

Noel Latham

One of the better lighthouses I have been to so far!

Climb in the morning when it's cooler!

Climb on weekdays during the busy season, it's a popular spot to wait for rental houses to open.

If you go to OBX this is worth the stop. The view at the top is breathtaking. How did they build this so long ago?

Cash or cheque only which is a tad unfortunate. We had to walk 1/4 mile up the road to the gas station first. Long lines , too. But that was expected.

We launch our boat from home then tie the boat out in the boat basin and enjoy walking around the village. It's an easy walk to the beach. Imagine how a bridge will spoil all of this serenity  - Lissa
