Watching the full moon rise over the open ocean is something to see, and if you're going to be in North Carolina later this month, you can view the moon from the Cape Lookout Lighthouse.
On August 18, 19, and 20th, Cape Lookout National Seashore officials will host their Evening at the Cape Lookout Lighthouse programs. Bring your own flashlight and experience the island and the lighthouse as the keepers did, in the dark of night. Hear stories of the light keepers, watch the sunset and moon and stars come out onto unlit beaches of the national seashore.
“This is a great opportunity to discover a different side to your favorite beach,” says Superintendent Patrick Kenney.
Reservations are required for the Evening at the Cape programs, beginning on August 8 at 10 a.m., at www.recreation.gov. Each of the three tour nights will be able to accommodate a maximum of 40 participants. The cost of the program is $28 (price includes ferry fee) and is non-refundable (weather dependent).
The Evening at the Cape program begins on Harkers Island promptly at 7:15 p.m. under the ferry dock canopy. Please allow enough time to pick up your ferry tickets from the ticket window ahead of time. All participants will travel together on a single ferry that departs shortly after the program begins.
The ferry will return to Harkers Island approximately at about 10 p.m. Children joining the climb must be at least 44 inches tall and able to climb the steps on their own. Children 12 years of age and younger must be accompanied by an adult (16 or older). Footwear is required as well.
There will be one more opportunity to experience this program. These trips are planned for Friday, September 16, and Saturday, September 17.
