Cape Lookout National Seashore on North Carolina's Outer Banks has unveiled this year’s Evening at the Cape program, which will begin June 8-10. These evening programs will be offered on select dates near the full moon from June to October.
Pack your flashlight and experience South Core Banks and the lighthouse as the light keepers did, in the dark of night. Hear stories of years gone by and watch the sunset, the moonrise, and the stars appear on the unlit beaches of the national seashore.
Reservations are required for Evening at the Cape programs and will be taken the Monday of the week before the program dates at www.recreation.gov, starting at 10 a.m. Each tour will accommodate a maximum of 40 participants.
The cost is $28 (includes ferry fee) and is nonrefundable (weather-dependent). The program begins on Harkers Island at 7:15 p.m. under the ferry dock canopy. Allow enough time to check your party in with the ranger. All participants will travel together on a single ferry. The ferry will return to Harkers Island at approximately 10 p.m.
Children joining the lighthouse 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). Closed-toe footwear is required.
