Affectionately known as Bug Light, for its diminutive 24-foot tower, this is the Portland Breakwater Lighthouse in South Portland, Maine. Built in 1875, it is a replica of the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates, located near the Acropolis in Athens, Greece.

There's a lighthouse in Iceland that sits on the highest of three rocks six miles off the Icelandic coastline, built in 1939 on top of an extremely steep and dangerous rocky cliff. It's the the Þrídrangar lighthouse.

Grand Haven South Pier & Lighthouses....Michigan....U.S.A..
Established in 1839, two lights on the south pier, both painted red, are connected by a lighted catwalk that also connects them to the shore and the Grand Haven Boardwalk. The inner light is cylindrical, and the foghouse outer light stands on a huge concrete foundation. People often enjoy a stroll along the boardwalk that borders the Grand River channel and the pier, making the Grand Haven lighthouses one of the most photographed lighthouses in the Midwest. The Grand Haven pier is also a popular spot for fishing and catching the sunset.
