Features
One of Diamond shoals lighthouse features is that it has a legend. The legend is that a family and a captain died on a ship near the lighthouse and they sail on the boat looking for their lost graves.

Fun Facts
The 175-foot high tower warns ships of shallow sand bars. Diamond shoals is special because it is in the water. Most lighthouses are at the edge of the water {as a example Cape Hatteras}. Also the lighthouse is square and it is white and does not have a pattern.
