When I am unable to visit lighthouses, I spend whatever time I can spare visiting my favorite lighthouse websites, and searching for others. What I offer here are the best stops on the Web tours I have make. I have made hundreds of stops on my travels through the Web, but I have chosen only to list my favorites.

- An excellent source of information and photographs of Pacific Coast lighthouses by a pair of lighthouse enthusiasts.
