Point Montara, California, USA

Point Montara Lighthouse: There is no harbor here. Instead, there are rocks offshore, right in the path of ships following the coast northward to the Golden Gate. Only an experienced applicant would qualify for the job of 'fog-horn assistant,' so the Mayo Beach lighthouse on Cape Cod was given the job and moved to the Pacific Coast in the 1920s. [2007]
