'Outer Banks' Film Locations You Can Visit in Real Life

"Built in 1859, destroyed during the Civil War and rebuilt in 1875, this lighthouse was repeatedly shown and used as the filming location for the fictional Redfield Lighthouse's interior; the surrounding state park served as the filming site for the Boneyard and the beach-cleanup scene in Season 1, Episode 3. The lighthouse itself is currently closed to visitors due to ongoing repairs, but visitors can still approach and learn about it from docents outside the structure." - Andrea Romano Andrea Romano Andrea Romano is a writer and editor in New York City.

Love this place! The drive back to the lighthouse is picturesque. Great walking beach, shells, shark teeth, coral then water to rinse your feet

A beautiful lighthouse next to a very gorgeous beach. Yeah, you couldn't go in but I was still happy to see it.

Area is beautiful but the lighthouse has been under renovations for over a year, so I have yet to see it clearly or able to walk up to the top. Clean area with a lot of paths.

The lighthouse is closed for remodeling, but the grounds were well kept and the volunteer guide was AMAZING! He had a wealth of knowledge about the area and history as well. Very interesting and beautiful. The beach was beautiful as well and not crowded at all. There was a fee to get inside the state park but it was very cheap and well worth it. All day ticket was access to miles of beach and not lots of people there.

The lighthouse is temporarily closed for repairs and no notice listed on when it may reopen so call first before driving down if that is your main objective. The outside was nice and right by the beach but I really went only to see the inside of the lighthouse so I didn't take many pictures. They have lots of trails and picnic tables close to the beach and lighthouse. The bathrooms were clean and well kept.

We have been to this park / beach a couple occasions, very nice park, pretty beaches and worth the drive. This place can get busy on weekends. North Beach is great for sun rises! Light house is fun to visit. Clean beaches with decent public restrooms. Enjoyed our time here.

10-19-24 Located inside Hunting Island Park we drove through until we reached the lighthouse. Unfortunately on this day it was closed with scaffolding up as it is under renovations. The gift shop nearby was open. There was picnic tables located at the base that people were eating at. We loved our visit to this Park so this will be the first of many visits. Next visit I hope to be able to go inside and will thank you do an updated review.
