If you are near this area, the lighthouse is a great point of interest. The whole family can enjoy this. This area is well shaded, so it's a nice escape from the summer sun. There is a gift shop and restrooms on site. It's fairly close to eating options. It's $10 to climb. It gets pretty hot inside, and not a grueling climb, tho you will burn some calories. But the view from on top is a great reward.

Beautiful views from a historic site that is still in operation. If you're in the Corolla area, you definitely need to make a stop here and climb the lighthouse for views you won't get anywhere else. The staff is also very kind and knowledgeable on any questions you might have about the lighthouse.
