HARKERS ISLAND – The first weekend of October offers the final chance this year to enjoy an Evening at the Cape at Cape Lookout National Seashore.
Bring a flashlight and experience the island and the lighthouse as the keepers did, in the dark of night, either Friday, Oct. 6, and Saturday, Oct. 7. Hear stories of the light keepers, watch the sunset and gaze at the heavens as the moon and stars come out onto unlit beaches of the National Seashore. The Evening at the Cape program begins on Harkers Island promptly at 6:30 p.m. under the ferry dock canopy.
