The Frying Pan Tower, a surplus Coast Guard Light Station, is located far out in the Atlantic Ocean 34 miles off the coast of North Carolina. Though GPS navigation technology means this tower is no longer used for its original purpose, it’s an important ecosystem for marine wildlife and provides a beautiful view of the sun rising and setting over the Atlantic Ocean. The tower was built in the 1960s to warn ships of the shallow waters nearby. It is used for education and environmental research. It is powered by a wind turbine and uses solar energy as electricity. The tower provides safety to Mariners in the ocean. It is located 32 miles off the North Carolina coast and goes 135 feet high. This ocean cam is affixed to the Frying Pan Tower, 34 miles off the coast of Cape Fear, North Carolina. Frying Pan Tower is a lookout tower on the Atlantic Ocean. It was purchased from government surplus for $85,000.Welcome to the Frying Pan Tower live cam at Cape Fear, North Carolina.

For 110 years, except for a few years during The War Between the States and WWII, crews manned the lightship 24/7 in all weather.

Travel as the scariest place to stay.ģ2 miles off the coast of North Carolina, this bed and breakfast features 8 bedrooms and is designed to feel like the original Coast Guard light tower it was in 1964. There are equally beautiful waters elsewhere, and there are overwater villas elsewhere, but the combination of service, food, seclusion and beauty create for me a perfect place. The distance to travel, and even the need for a domestic flight and boat ride to reach the Park Hyatt after arriving in the country, create a sense of separation from the world for me. I visit the Maldives each year, because I really value the seclusion.
