In the Gulf of Mexico, off the Florida Keys, the lighthouse at American Shoals is anchored to the sea floor and designed to withstand hurricane-force winds.
 
The oldest existing lighthouse in the Western Hemisphere is at Sandy Hook, New Jersey. It guards the entrance to the New York Harbor as it has since before the Revolutionary War.
