With sweeping ocean and sound views, salty breezes, and a golden Outer Banks sunset as your backdrop, this ride is pure OBX magic. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this one-of-a-kind Jeep® experience—only at OBX Jeep Mutiny!
Bodie Island Lighthouse to Cape Hatteras Lighthouse
Lighthouse Toy Run Route
The Lighthouse Ride follows the legendary NC 12 through the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. This iconic stretch of two-lane blacktop winds between crashing Atlantic surf on one side and the calm waters of the Pamlico Sound on the other—a pure Outer Banks dream.
You’ll cruise across the soaring Marc Basnight Bridge over Oregon Inlet, roll into the wild beauty of Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge, then coast over the curving Rodanthe “Jug Handle” Bridge. From there, the Jeep convoy rides through the laid-back beach villages of Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo, and Avon. Finally, as Cape Hatteras approaches, you’ll experience the narrowest part of the Outer Banks, with views of wind and kite surfers enjoying the calm water and steady winds in the popular and famous “Canadian Hole”.
No fees. No registration. Just Jeeps.
Grab your crew, meet up at Bodie Island Lighthouse in Nags Head, hop in the group photo, and roll out with a caravan of Jeeps® into the OBX sunset—all for a great cause.
