no, because it is deep in the middle... they're just on cliff edges and where the sea is quite shallow and rocky, to prevent boats and ships from crashing.

Lighthouses are navigational aids which mark hazards and harbor entrances. light house in the middle of the sea would only be of use if it were on an island in the middle of the sea. There are several such islands with lighthouses.

Why are lighthouses striped?

Not all lighthouses are striped but all lighthouses need to be visible during the daytime, as well as at night. The stripes on some lighthouses increase their visibility. Some lighthouses are black, because the angle from which they are usually seen by ships places them against the white clouds or bright blue sky, and the traditional white or striped lighthouse makes them hard to see against this background. +++ The pattern is actually to help identify it from the sea, where distance makes the shape of the coastline difficult to see.
