Artist Comments:
Currituck Beach Lighthouse is located at Whale Head Bay in Corolla, North Carolina on the northern end of the "Outer Banks". It's distinct unpainted natural red brick appearance is in contrast with fellow lighthouses along the North Carolina coast which are painted in striking black and white. Built in 1875, it is still used today to light the dark stretches of the southern Atlantic coastline. Annually the lighthouse welcomes and average of 185,000 visitors and we were among them.
One summer we loaded up the kids and headed off to the Outer Banks to discover the lighthouses we'd heard so much about. We lived only two hours away. Currituck Lighthouse was our first and the favorite of all the lighthouses we visited that fun filled weekend. We've been back several times since that first trip and we always enjoy seeing this lighthouse over and over again.
