Rawley Point juts out into Lake Michigan (there's a lighthouse here.). Its main feature is a series of beach ridges formed as the lake dropped and paused from higher glacial levels over thousands of years. A beautiful place to be at any time, but especially pretty during sunrise.
Lake Point Tower is a 70 story high-rise residential building located on a promontory of the Lake Michigan lakefront in downtown Chicago, in the Streeterville neighborhood. It was constructed in 1968 and rises somewhat apart from the urban cluster of downtown Chicago in a composition that sets off and punctuates the skyline. The building is also the only skyscraper in downtown Chicago east of Lake Shore Drive.
Lake Point Tower's position between Lake Shore Drive and Navy Pier gives it unimpeded north, east, and south views that are protected, for the foreseeable future, by the ordinances controlling use of the city's lakefront. The condo building has been home to many affluent Chicagoans past and present, including Alice Cooper, Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell and Mickey Rooney.

Cold day at Dead Horse Point. Colorado River, San Juan County, Utah.
The legend of Dead Horse Point originates around the turn of the 19th century when cowboys would round up the wild mustangs that roamed the mesa. It is said, a herd was driven down the neck of the peninsula, its sheer cliffs forming a natural corral, and the 30-foot-wide entrance was fenced off with branches and brush. For reasons unknown, the herd was left or forgotten. After a period of time with no food or water, they succumbed to the harsh desert elements, with the Colorado River in view 2,000 feet below. It is rumored those horses can be seen and heard still roaming the area.
The Point Wilson Light is an active aid to navigation located in Fort Worden State Park near Port Townsend, Jefferson County, Washington. It is one of the most important navigational aids in the state, overlooking the entrance to Admiralty Inlet, the waterway connecting the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound. The lighthouse was listed on the Washington State Heritage Register and the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.

Neist Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse located on Neist Point on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. It was designed by David Alan Stevenson and was first lit on 1 November 1909. An aerial cableway is used to take supplies to the lighthouse and cottages.
Another rare combination: sea stacks and a waterfall tumbling into the ocean. All we need is an arch in there and we'd have a real winner :)
