Celebrate National Lighthouse Day with these 20 US lighthouses

Tour these seaside beacons.

There’s something so evocative about lighthouses and the lonely yet romantic lives of lighthouse keepers. They were available to work 24/7 and had the responsibility of keeping a tower’s lamp lit every night from sundown to sunrise. Many travelers can’t get enough of these historic beacons, whether they’re taking photos from the base or climbing to the top to check out the views.

According to the United States Lighthouse Society, 779 lighthouses are currently standing in the country. Here are some of the best-looking lighthouses to visit while traveling around the U.S. this summer — just in time for National Lighthouse Day on August 7.
