Stunning Lighthouses Around the World You Need to See to Believe

8. Pigeon Point Lighthouse – California, USA

Perched on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Pigeon Point Lighthouse is one of the tallest lighthouses in the United States, standing at 115 feet. Built in 1871, its elegant white tower is a beacon for travelers along California’s scenic Highway 1. The surrounding area offers tide pools, hiking trails, and even overnight accommodations in the restored keeper’s quarters, now operated as a hostel. The lighthouse is particularly striking during the annual lighting of its original Fresnel lens, which draws visitors from across the country.
