Take a tour of World's Most Beautiful Lighthouses – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

I'd like to show you the world's most beautiful lighthouses.

The serene and captivating harbor of Hirtshals, Denmark boasts of an equally sublime lighthouse. The Lighthouse of Hirtshals, stands 35 meters tall on the coastal town covered gracefully in lurid Dutch tile.

Cuddled over an isolated islet on lush green grass and lovely landscape of Maine, United States is The Nubble Lighthouse. At an enduring height of 41 feet, this cast iron structure is neatly lined with red-bricks.

The gorgeous northern coast of Spain is graced with a splendid 2nd century lighthouse which renders stunning views of the Atlantic. Statuesque in every way, the Tower of Hercules, is not only known for its historic past but also for being extremely functional.

The exquisite locale and colorful horizons of the Palos Verde Peninsula in California is overlooked by the spartan, Point Vicente Lighthouse. At about 67 feet tall, the lighthouse graciously emits light at over 185 feet above sea level, serving its purpose since its construction in 1926.

Malmö lighthouse began operating in 1878 and sits in Malmö’s inner harbor. The octagonal shape of both the lighthouse itself and the stone base upon which it sits creates a stunning centerpiece for this highly trafficked port. The 14 square meter light emission range protects ships from the adjacent bridge.
