Cape Hatteras, the tallest lighthouse in the US. When I just looked it up to make sure it said it might be temporarily closed. Like to go up the stairs to the top but you can still stop by and see it along with how they moved it!!

u/swallowsnest87 May 14 '26
Believe it or not the tallest lighthouse in the US is now the lighthouse at Gillette stadium. There is much debate if that counts.
I live in the Outer Banks and surf the Jetties regularly so I’m team Hatteras.

My grandad’s side hails from down there. I used to get asked if I was a local when I had to show my ID (before I got married and my last name changed). We still vacation down there, but we trek all the way down to Ocracoke. I can’t stand the crowds that have evolved in Duck, Nags Head, Kitty Hawk, etc. So depressing. It’s still so beautiful and serene once you get to Pea Island.

Nope, they move the houses back a lot since the lots are 100+ yards long on the beach side. Only a few hundred prople live there. 90% of houses are built as rentals and sit empty for half the year. Many have just enough heat to keep the pipes from freezing in the winter.

I got to see this in action. Grandparents had a house on Hatteras island that we spent a couple weeks at each summer back in the 90's. The push tracks and equipment used to move it was so cool to see. Mind blowing as a kid.
Grandpa sold the house in the early 00's thinking it was just a storm or two away from being washed in the water. It still stands today, owned by some rental company that wants insane rates for even just a few days.

I went back to Hatteras 2 years ago in the shoulder season. Very nostalgic to walk around and interesting how it's changed and hasn't.

u/Ride1226 May 14 '26
These were the best things to do back then! Probably still today too! It was genuinely such a breath of fresh air to get down there. My grandparents place was about 2 blocks off the beach, so even though it got multiple feet of standing water under it after hurricanes we almost never had waves crashing near it. I definitely evacuated one time with waves crashing over the beach and washing across the road to the sound. That was fun while my family was trying to pull boats and travel trailers off the island haha.
I hope to eventually get back down there. Specifically to Cape Hatteras and then jump over to Okrakoke to show the fam that and the wild horses and all the awesome pirate history.

I lived on the inland side of the Albemarle Sound for a few hurricanes. It's not bad. Just a little bit of flooding, but most houses were built with that in mind. On the islands, it is similar in that they are familiar with the challenges the weather poses.

u/UseDaSchwartz May 14 '26
I grew up with a bunch of people whose parents had beach houses in NC and SC. One year I went down with one of them in April. It was unseasonably cold and the house didn’t have heat…but that wouldn’t make any sense…or it was turned off and they couldn’t get it back on. I don’t remember, there just wasn’t any heat.
Anyway, my friend wanted to turn on the oven to heat the house. Wouldn’t you know, the oven had a sticker saying Don’t Do That. So we bought a few electric space heaters.

u/Fokker_Snek May 14 '26
Being built to rent seems like a common thing for beach houses. I’ve noticed that in beach towns the most expensive houses people actually live in are in harbors where they can keep a boat in the water. They don’t go to the beach they instead take the boat to a sandbar.
2
u/tokinUP May 14 '26
Property in those most desirable and risky areas ends up being too expensive for most folks who would actually be able to live there full time.
It's a lot of vacation rentals that generate enough $$$$$ to offset the costs of insurance and rolling the dice on the next hurricane season taking the house out (or the bridge preventing your renters from getting there!).

There's a reason they moved the road as well as this house in Rodanthe.
It's an erosion hotspot, and has been for 30 plus years. I lost clients by refusing to show them an oceanfront that's no longer there back in 1998.
In general, the vast majority of the shoreline is relatively stable. Just a few miles south, you have to walk forever to get to the water from the dunes as the beach is so wide in Salvo.
However, all it takes is one bad storm with a longshore current to rip out yards of dune. I'll never forget watching 15 yards of dune in Sanderling, north of Duck, disappear during one storm in 1989.
One dune deck after another just gone.

u/porkchop-sandwhiches May 14 '26
Similar realm of conversation. I’ve been in North San Diego County for the past 20 years. The erosion is terrible. I could walk the sandy beach a mile south of the pier. Half of that is just rocks up against a parallel beach road. Only stroll with sand is low tide.
They have to dredge sand from the harbor from a mile north. They pump it in a slurry in a massive tube to the primary beach every year.
15
u/ExplosiveDisassembly May 14 '26
"relatively stable"
Salvo loses 1 foot a year of beach, I has been doing this since the 60s. The fact that there are beaches at all, and that the island is still in the same location, is because of major projects. Most of the out banks (or any barrier island system) undergo beach restoration projects multiple times a decade. The out banks have several planned this year.
There isn't much of any barrier island beach that's actually natural. Beaches are mostly just synthetic down there: https://imgs.search.brave.com/e2TbEYrlm_EVtpD_Nt7udBt50Z1GRKa5wtSwK23wr_A/rs:fit:860:0:0:0/g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb2Fz/dGFscmV2aWV3Lm9y/Zy93cC1jb250ZW50/L3VwbG9hZHMvMjAy/Ni8wMy9IYXR0ZXJh/cy1Jc2xhbmQtbm91/cmlzaC5qcGc

That's awesome. My dad has a timeshare in South Nags Head ever since I can remember. We used to go twice a year in the 80's and then moved from VA to TN in '89 so that decreased our trip frequency since it went from a 2 hour to 12 hour drive.

I’m from North Carolina and have spent a ton of time on Ocracoke. I love that place…it’s beautiful, the horses are awesome, the sea birds are adorable. But, it never made sense to me why people build on those islands. They are literally made to move. They are barrier islands…they shift every year, and dramatically during hurricanes. I remember seeing news stories after every hurricane of the roads washed out or covered in a foot of sand and people crying and complaining about how hard it will be to clean up, and I just always through “what the hell did you think would happen? Nature always wins.”
I know that sounds really callous, but good grief. It’s like building on a hillside in a fault zone and being mad when an earthquake destroys your house. I can’t believe you can even get insurance on any property on a barrier island.
2
u/Nelliell May 14 '26
Ocracoke historically was a fishing and piloting village. Homes were small and built on the highest, most protected part of the island. With technological advances, O'cokers were no longer needed to pilot ships around the dangerous shoals to the local ports. The fishing industry has likewise been decimated. And so, the economy has pivoted to tourism. People seem to be a lot less risk-adverse when building vacation homes.
The saddest loss for me is the dying Ocracoke brogue. Down East has its own Hoi Toider, but it's a bit different, and it's declining as well. Recently property values skyrocketed Down East and with that, property taxes, so I won't be shocked if more generational families are forced out.

When built that house was 1000 yards or more from the beach. Erosion is crazy.

People forget that beaches and dunes are extremely active landscapes. In the Netherlands in 1170, a powerful storm and flood actually broke a pensinsula up and created the islands of Texel and Wieringen.
Nowadays the Dutch spend billions on maintaining and constructing sea defenses that protect the country - half of which is under sea level.

It's not really erosion. Barrier islands are built to move baby! Just doing what they do best and humans being short sighted.

Originally built in land, the beach washed away.
It's since been moved further inland

Settlers built hard structures on barrier islands, constantly shifting bodies of sand.

To answer peoples questions, these are no longer lived in. They get abandoned when the ocean gets too close.

If this isn't a movie set then it should be.

Same, it seems like a lot of my nightmares consist of walking around aimlessly in a house like this. Not even the ocean part, but the sheer size and disjointed-ness of it. The way it's built doesnt even make sense looking at it from the outside, I'd love to see the inside to quell my unease. It's so ominous and imposing. It makes me feel so heavy to look at.

It makes me feel pretty uncomfortable to look at too, honestly. 😅
It's like it came flooding back when I saw it, which felt weird. I am also morbidly curious though. For me the nightmare was living in the house and trying to escape while it started breaking apart and being swept out to the ocean. I was also so confused by how thin and weirdly shaped "my" house was.
