Traveling can give you a lot of benefits. Visiting different places, encountering amazing cultures, and socializing with beautiful people, can give you not just peace of mind, but it can also help improve your social and communication skills and give you memories and happiness you will never be able to get from anything else.
Given these reasons, the number of people who want to experience those are dramatically rising. If you are one of them and looking for an extraordinary experience for the next bucket list, you may want to consider visiting the most dangerous hotel in the world located 34 miles off the coast of North Carolina.
The Frying Pan Tower is also known as the US Coastguard Frying Pan Light Station. Unlike other hotels, this tower can only be reached through a helicopter or a long ride on a boat.
After the lighthouse retired, Richard Neal, a software engineer, decided to buy the tower, which was once used as a lighthouse, for $85,000 and aimed to restore what was left from it, as reported by Conde Nast Traveler. With his family and other volunteers, they spent years on improving the place. Two years after, Neal decided to open it to the public and had his first guest in 2012.
So what does this Frying Pan Light Station has to offer that guest can't help but ask for more? Aside from its 90 ft high walkways, a location that is constantly hit by hurricanes, and several sharks underwater, every minute of your stay inside this tower will surely be filled with excitement because of its unique activities, as posted by Mitch Summers, who is an internet travel blogger, to his Facebook video.
These activities include golf using special balls that converts into fish food once in contact with water, riding a unicycle, trying the slackline, shooting using biodegradable clays, fishing your lunch, and playing cornhole. Since the sea underneath the tower also has healthy biodiversity, snorkeling here can surely give you a wonderful experience. Also, visitors can perfect their diving skills here or can even go around the tower on a jet-ski.
One of the best things about the tower is that people don't have to be disconnected to the world to experience this once in a lifetime adventure. With gigabit internet, you will surely get the fastest internet connection inside its premises.
Though the tower might seem pretty old, Neal claims it is still strong and can keep up with time. So, there is no reason to feel worried about visiting the place. "It's an adventure, and it's safe as we can make it. It's definitely not a Disney ride", Neal added.
