The lighthouse at Corolla Beach is actually called the Currituck Beach Light.

The Currituck Beach Light is a brick lightouse, the last brick lighthouse to be built on the NC Outer Banks.  It stands at 162 feet tall.  A total of 214 steps inside lead to the top.  Visitors can climb to the top for a nominal fee of only $7, which supports the preservation of the lighthouse.
