Lune Estuary, Lancashire
Sunderland, commonly known as Sunderland Point, is a small village among the marshes, on a windswept peninsula between the mouth of the River Lune, and Morecambe Bay, in Lancashire, England. It was used as a port for slave ships and cotton ships but its importance declined as other ports such as Lancaster were opened up.
The village is linked to the neighbouring Overton some 1½ miles away by a single-track road crossing a tidal marsh, which is flooded at high tide.
Looking north along Point Reyes beach, from just north of Point Reyes proper. Much the same shot as "Point Reyes Beach 1", but a little different angle which gives a better perspective on the breaking waves.

The Montauk Point Light is a lighthouse located adjacent to Montauk Point State Park, at the easternmost point of Long Island, in the hamlet of Montauk in the Town of East Hampton in Suffolk County, New York. The lighthouse was the first to be built within the state of New York, and was the first public works project of the new United States. It is the fourth oldest active lighthouse in the United States. Long listed on the National Register of Historic Places, in 2012, it was designated as a National Historic Landmark for its significance to New York and international shipping in the early Federal period.

The Point Vicente Lighthouse is an important landmark and beacon light relied by thousands of ships and pleasure craft. It provides a means of fixing their position, and ensuring their safe passage up and down the coast.
Was built in 1926 on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, the Point Vicente light source was dimmed during World War II to avoid aiding the enemy. It was automated in 1971 by the United States Coast Guard. The original third order Fresnel lens still revolves in the lantern room.
The Point Vicente Lighthouse is open for tours on the second Saturday of each month

One of my favorite Great Lakes lighthouses, due mainly to it's location. Unfortunately, this is one where you can't climb the tower. I believe it's because of insurance regulations, not because it's still active. Many other active lights let you climb up. I hope that someday the Alcona County Historical Society will work this out.
Some facts about Sturgeon Point Light:
Built in 1869, 70' high, still has a 3 1/2 order fresnel lens. In 1913, it was converted to acetylene, and put in "no keeper" status, meaning it was unmanned, and in 1935 the light was electrified. Even though still an active light, in 1961 the property was deeded to the State of Michigan by the U.S. Government. In 1982, the Alcona Historical Society restored the keepers quarters.

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.

FROM WIKIPEDIA:
West Point is a cape and an unincorporated community located in the southwestern corner of Prince Edward Island, Canada.
West Point Lighthouse, a square tapered tower, was built in 1875 by the federal Department of Marine. The West Point Lighthouse Inn, Museum and Restaurant was established in 1984.
The West Point Development Corporation, a non-profit organization, maintains the lighthouse as a navigational aid beacon, although the living quarters of the lighthouse are now used as a unique country inn and museum.
This lighthouse was first lit on May 21, 1876.
Start Point is a promontory in the South Hams district in Devon, England, grid reference SX832370. Close to the most southerly point in the county, it marks the southern limit of Start Bay, which extends northwards to the estuary of the River Dart.
The rocks of the point are greenschist and mica-schist, formed by metamorphism of Devonian sediments during a period of mountain building towards the end of the Carboniferous period.
The name "Start" derives from an Anglo-Saxon word steort, meaning a tail. This root also appears in the names of birds with distinctive tails, like the redstart.
As a result of the many shipwrecks in the area, Start Point lighthouse was built in 1836 to alert ships to the danger of the point and its surrounding rocks. The lighthouse, and the area's birdlife, make it a popular spot for visitors, and Start Point is accessible to walkers from the South West Coast Path.
The Start Point transmitting station is located on top of the promontory, just north-west of the lighthouse. Built in 1939, it nowadays transmits only a single broadcast, BBC Radio 5 Live.
Lamacraft Farm is near Start Point and a quarter of a mile from South Hallsands.

Idaho's Initial Point is a volcanic butte rising from the western Snake River Plain. Beginning on April 19, 1867, surveyors mapped the entire state starting from this butte. Every piece of land in the state is referenced by its direction and distance from a brass survey marker located on top of the butte.
