HARKERS ISLAND, NC – Cape Lookout National Seashore announces the final opportunity to participate in the Evening at the Cape programs on Friday, October 19, and Saturday, October 20.
Bring your flashlight and experience South Core Banks and the lighthouse as the Light Keepers did, in the dark of night.  Hear stories of days gone by, and watch the sun set into night at your national seashore.  “This is an incredible chance to see your favorite beach under the calm of the starry sky,” notes Superintendent Jeff West.

Reservations are required for the Evening at the Cape programs, beginning on October 8, (Columbus Day) at 10 A.M. EDT, at www.recreation.gov.  Each of the two tour nights will be able to accommodate a maximum of 40 total participants. 
 
The cost of the program is $28 (price includes ferry fee) and is non-refundable (weather dependent). The program begins on Harkers Island promptly at 6:15 P.M. under the ferry dock canopy. Please be sure to arrive early ahead of the programs start time to check your party in with the Ranger. All participants will travel together on a single ferry that departs shortly after the presentation begins. The ferry will return to Harkers Island by 9:00 P.M.
 
Children joining the climb must be at least 44-inches tall and able to climb the steps on their own. Children 12 years of age and younger must be accompanied by an adult (16 or older). Footwear is required as well. For more information, go to: http://go.nps.gov/eveningatcape.htm.
