Frying Pan Tower is the namesake of Frying Pan Shoals… For many years before modern-day GPS, the light burned on top of the tower, warning mariners of the shallow and treacherous shoals. It was manned by the Coast Guard until it was decommissioned in 2004. In this video you can see waves breaking 12 miles offshore, showing the shoals in all their glory. No longer a navigational aid, the tower now stands as a testament to restoration and preservation and serves as a glimpse into maritime history.

From a wave viewpoint, some 18'-20'ers to watch and yes they move us! There is so much power behind each one of these that it's hard to imagine what they would move should it get in their path! | Frying Pan Tower

Hurricane winds and rain dump right into the tower through the blown out windows that were the result of appearing to be abandoned in the 90's! Now with donated glass, we are ready to weld in supporting steel, attach stainless steel window frames, and return to shining the light brightly from the top! While we no longer need to keep ships off the shoals, (due to GPS), we do help the Coast Guard with maritime emergencies, and provide a beacon of hope for those who venture so far off shore out of

This is our beloved tower! We are doing everything we can to restore and preserve this historic structure for future generations. Frying Pan Tower is an antiquated Coast Guard light station, that was deemed obsolete with the advent of modern day GPS. It used to mark the very shallow and very dangerous Frying Pan Shoals. Few people know this, but North Carolina is a destination scuba diving location, thanks in-part to our treacherous and shallow waters! We, in fact have a full (and very well pres

Feeling adventurous? Check out these shots from a recent trip to Frying Pan Tower with Ocean Isle Fishing Center! The Frying Pan Tower is a decommissioned U.S. Coast Guard lighthouse 32 miles off the coast of North Carolina. The Coast Guard also staffed the light station from 1964-1979 to help ships avoid running aground the shallow waters of the Frying Pan Shoals. The OIFC crew went out to the tower for an overnight trip on their 38 Freeman to catch and clean some fish on the way out there. Her

We took the Onslow Bay Boats “QC1” out to the Frying Pan Tower for an overnight trip, and what an incredible experience it was! It made me realize how special of a place it is, and that @thequalifiedcaptain needs to help raise awareness about the ongoing restoration process. This place still saves lives, and is out there for the better good of all mariners. Stay tuned for updates on a chance to win a free stay, and how you guys can help us restore this place for future generations to come! Here
