Standing along the shores of Currituck, North Carolina, Long Point Beacon Light has guided mariners since its construction in 1901. This modest yet historic beacon served as a critical navigational aid through the treacherous waters of Currituck Sound, complementing the nearby Currituck Beach Lighthouse.

The light remains active today, though it is not open to public climbing. Its weathered structure and waterside setting make it a favorite subject for photographers, with golden hour and early morning fog offering the most dramatic shots.

Visitors to the area can explore the stunning Currituck Beach Lighthouse, the historic Whalehead Club, and the wild horses of the Outer Banks — all within a short drive.
