A Landscape of Change: Cape Hatteras Light Station
Twenty years ago, in the summer of 1999, the Cape Hatteras Light Station was moved 2,900 feet from the spot where it had stood since 1870.
As the natural process of shoreline erosion transformed this dynamic coastal environment, the tallest brick lighthouse in the United States now stood dangerously close to the ocean’s edge.
The remarkable undertaking including efforts to protect the structures, maintain the coastal setting of the original site, and preserve the original orientation to the shoreline and spatial arrangement of historic structures in the landscape.

REALWatersports pro kiteboarder Jason Slezak mugs for our cameras in a tasty little summer session at Cape Hatteras. Join us at VisitOuterBanks.tumblr.com this week for more videos and pics in this #SummerSunday throwback. Stay tuned!
Staying with our theme this week, check out this amazing Instagram by @sheilacharrette who captured #SeaSmoke a few weeks back. Cape Hatteras NPS says this rare “sea smoke” occurs on coastal waters when cold air flows over warmer water. You never know what you’ll see on the beach during the winter. Storms bring rare weather, wildlife and shells, one of the upsides to winter on the beach. It’s not as cold this week, but we still hope that you are staying warm out there this winter! Maybe we can help with a cozy rental by the sea.
