The Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse in Manteo, NC is a reproduction of a lighthouse that was built on pilings in the southern entrance of Croatan Sound on Roanoke Island. The original lighthouse was decommissioned in 1955. The lighthouse sank in the sound during an attempt to move it to private property. 
Today, the new lighthouse is part of an historical park that memorializes the early settlers of the island. The lighthouse is an active aid to navigation, guiding boats into Shallowbag Bay.
