Currituck Beach Lighthouse Museum Shop — Attraction in Corolla

Had a great time here except for going the the gift shop. I served 8 years in the Navy and was excited to tell my 4 year old about Boatswain’s whistle. I told him I’m going to get this for you.

I really didn’t want to take the time to do this but if it saves someone else from the trouble I’m here to serve. I was really disappointed with how aggressive and rude this woman treated us. If you go to this Lighthouse stay way from...

Let's give it a two-star rating out of five for making you wait in a social distancing line outside the shop and only letting a couple into the store at a time. These must be Democrats in charge of the gift shop because I'm pretty sure the division of state parks did not mandate this. The guard lady was borderline rude because there were no large signs posted for the many people around there to even be able to...

Gift shop located in the smaller keepers quarters of Currituck Beach Lighthouse. There is truly something for everyone on this cozy two-story building. Friendly staff will help you find the perfect gift or souvenir. Great T-shirt selection. Front porch offers bench seating in the shade with a view of the lighthouse & main keepers quarters, which is not open...
