SHINING LIGHT: The Bodie Island Lighthouse was built in 1872, and the original Fresnel lens is still in use today. The Bodie Island light stands at 159 feet and is painted with distinctive black and white horizontal stripes. The lighthouse keeper's quarters were recently restored, and they house an information center, exhibits and a bookstore.
