- View of the Lighthouse from Lookout Bight -

by Bittu Ali

The Cape Lookout National Seashore is one of our favorite NC weekend destinations for a variety of reasons. First of all, Cape Lookout is absolutely gorgeous. From the Cape, you can get a panoramic view of the Atlantic Ocean. In fact, you can watch the sun rise from the ocean and set in the ocean from the same location. The Lighthouse at Cape Lookout is one of North Carolina’s most well recognized historical features. As one of our few National Seashores, Cape Lookout is free from development and feels like the wild and pristine place it should be. Additionally, the only way to reach Cape Lookout (or any of the South Core Banks, for that matter) is by boat –the closest road goes only as far as Harker’s Island. Consequently, the beaches on this particular island that is part of the Outer Banks is one of the least crowded in North Carolina. Finally, of particular importance to our crew, Cape Lookout has beaches that face both East and Southwest.
