Join a global community of lighthouse spotters dedicated to mapping and photographing the world's lighthouses. Members can document active lights, decommissioned towers, ruins, and minor harbour beacons on our shared atlas. Each spot should include an exterior photo taken from a public viewpoint, the approximate tower height, the year it was built (if known), any heritage listing applicable, and whether the light is still operational. This community is perfect for maritime history enthusiasts, coastal walkers, and harbour fans looking for verifiable lighthouse locations instead of vague scenic postings. Begin your journey by mapping lighthouses from the UK, Ireland, and Channel coasts as we expand our reach worldwide.
