How to see it
Above water and inside the horizon from By boat off Whale Point, 1.2 km (0.7 mi) away, so on a clear day it can be seen from there, and CoastFinder puts a label on it.
On the website for now. Lighthouses in the Bahamas are in the web viewer first, and they are coming to the CoastFinder app, which covers the North Carolina coast today. Follow @coastfinderapp to hear when they arrive.
