Lighthouses of the Outer Banks of North Carolina
Photos my wife and I took of the Currituck, Bodie Island, Hatteras, and Ocracoke Lighthouses in 1994 and 1995.
The Cape Hatteras light is the first lighthouse I visited 5 years old and have revisited it numerous times in the years since. The music is a new composition by myself entitled Assembly Line at the Joy Factory
Bodie Island Lighthouse
Went to the Bodie Island Lighthouse in Nags Head and the wind blowing through the scaffolding sounded eerie. You can just faintly hear it over the wind blowing into the mic. I tried to block it but its kinda hard. LOL

Lighthouse History
The lighthouse was first lit on December 1, 1875, thus providing much-needed light between the Cape Henry Lighthouse in Virginia Beach, Virginia and Bodie Island Lighthouse near Nags Head, North Carolina. In 1939, the United States Coast Guard took over the duties of the Bureau of Lighthouses, and the lighthouse was automated. To this day, the lighthouse continues to flash every 20 seconds (3 seconds on, 17 seconds off) to warn ships traveling along the Outer Banks barrier islands along the East coast. What's interesting about the specific lighting cadence is that is different from other lighthouses along the Outer Banks, allowing mariners to know their exact location in addition to keeping them a safe distance from the coast.

Nags Head - Outer Banks, NC
WATCH IN 1080P. Welcome to Nags Head, the original Outer Banks vacation destination, since 1830. Steeped in rich history, the Town of Nags Head offers guests a wide variety of restaurants, specialty shops, an outlet mall, family activities and some of the best beaches the Outer Banks has to offer.
Nags Head is home to the largest sand dune on the East Coast, Jockey's Ridge. Coastal winds have caused the dune to migrate over time, eventually burying a hotel and miniature golf course. From the top of the Ridge, visitors can see ocean to sound vistas, and the windy ridge is also popular to hang gliders, sand gliders and kite flyers.
Designated a National Natural Landmark in 1974, Nags Head Woods is a 1,400 acre maritime forest. Open daily from dawn to dusk, nature lovers will enjoy six hiking trails, 300 plant species and over 50 breeds of birds.
Originally opened in 1939, Jennette's Pier was completely rebuilt in 2011. Jutting 1100 feet into the ocean, it was designed to showcase information about our local fish, wind energy and more. Pier fishing, day camps, beach explorations and aquarium activities are just a few of the family friendly offerings available.
Rising 165 feet and painted with dominant white and black stripes, a full renovation of the Bodie Island Lighthouse was completed in 2013 and now, for the first time ever, is open to the public to climb.
Visit for more information about this town.

Cruising on the Beach Road in Nags Head NC
Just after dawn on July 4th three recreational cyclists took a relaxing cruise down the popular beach road in Nags Head North Carolina located on its northern Outer Banks. The ride covered the town from limit to limit and included passing by many iconic beach road businesses and dining establishments. A fun way to enjoy some memories and start the July 4th celebration.

This was shot on DV video tape in several locations around the North Carolina Coast and was edited on a non linear video editing system. It was shot when the Hatteras Light was in it's original location near the water before it was moved 1/4 mile inland. Hope you Enjoy.
