The tallest brick lighthouse in North America. Open for climbing Good Friday - Columbus Day. Extending about 14 miles offshore from Cape Hatteras are the shallow, shifting Diamond Shoals, a hazard to nearshore navigation. By day or night, the Cape Hatteras lighthouse provided a navigational bearing, enabling ships to avoid the treacherous shoals. Columbus Day, Monday, October 11, 2010 is the last day for climbing the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse this season. The lighthouse will reopen for the 2011 season on Friday, April 16.
