Lighthouses
Peggy’s Point Lighthouse, Nova Scotia, Canada
The
tapered, octagonal-shaped lighthouse at Peggy’s Point in Nova Scotia is among
the most photographed in the world. First built in 1868, it was replaced by the
present tower in 1915, which stands 50 feet (15m) high and looks out over the
east side of the entrance to St. Margaret’s Bay. Set on a barren rock outcrop
jutting out to sea, the lighthouse has withstood endless crashing waves from
the North Atlantic during the province's harsh winters.

Lighthouses
Beachy Head Lighthouse, England, UK
Standing about 541 feet (165m) from the towering chalk cliffs of
Beachy Head near Eastbourne, East Sussex, this traditional lighthouse was constructed
in 1902. Its predecessor, the Belle Tout lighthouse, was built on the headland
in 1828, but was abandoned in 1899 due to concerns about the cliff collapsing.
Today, the jaunty red-and-white striped tower has earned a place in the hearts
of visitors to this iconic stretch of coastline.

Lighthouses
St Mary’s Lighthouse,
England, UK
With its glimmering rock pools
and bird-thronged wetlands, the St. Mary’s Island Nature Reserve is an idyllic
location for this pristine white lighthouse. Constructed in 1898 to protect
ships navigating the hazardous stretch of coastline just north of Whitby Bay,
the tower is located on a tidal island. It went out of operation in 1984 but
remains a recognizable landmark, offering panoramic views of England's
northeast coastline.
