Right now the governor of North Carolina is not making another announcement until the end of September as far as any new guidelines with COVID. The lighthouse itself is open year round but right now and for the foreseeable future you cannot climb it due to COVID. One more thing if you get the chance check out Bodie Island lighthouse. It’s about an 1 or so away. It’s not as tall as Hatteras but with the scenery around it, much more beautiful.
Q:
Will the Lighthouse be open on May 11 through the 13th.?

I would check with the NPS to answer that question.
