Bodie Island Lighthouse
a black-and-white-banded tower over the marsh
Bodie Island Lighthouse is one of the places Roamward flags on the Outer Banks Scenic Byway because it gives the drive its texture: a black-and-white-banded tower over the marsh. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.
How it fits the drive
The Outer Banks runs Nags Head → Ocracoke, NC. Barrier islands, lighthouses, and ferries.
