You can't beat the view. Also pretty amazing this wasn't even the first lighthouse on the island!
Pros: Amazing view with incredible sights of both the island and the ocean.
Cons: Gotta get to Bald Head Island, and that requires a ferry. A def do if you're already there however.
Great historic site to visit
Pros: Very clean and well maintained
Cons: Too many steps
Great place to see some history and bring the family.
