HARKERS ISLAND – Watch the sunset from the top of Cape Lookout Lighthouse during the seasonal Evening at the Cape program with Cape Lookout National Seashore.
Ranger-led excursions, which feature a ferry ride at dusk and stories from the past, are scheduled for July 11, July 12, and July 13, and gives visitors the chance to experience the South Core Banks and the lighthouse at night, just as the lightkeepers did.
