Since 1875, this lighthouse has kept mariners from danger, night and day. The Keepers’ Dwelling has housed more than two dozen families, as their duties of “Lighthouse Keeper” were carried out.

Two Overlooks, one near the south end and the other 1 mile down from the north end provide sweeping views of the Globally Important Bird Area - The Pine Island and Currituck Marshes and Currituck Sound. In summer, osprey, egrets and terns dominate the marsh, in winter the famed Currituck Waterfowl fill the marshes.
