The outstanding "candy cane" lighthouse towers 208 feet, the tallest in the United States. It stands as part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore at the southern tip of Hatteras Island warning sailors of the shallow Diamond Shoals which reach almost 14 miles into the Atlantic from the Cape. From 1936 until 1950 the light was temporarily located on a steel skeletal tower. The lighthouse was relocated 2900 feet further from the shore in June & July of 1999.
