The tallest lighthouse in the world, according to World Lighthouse Society, is the 101 m or 331 ft Marine Tower in Yokohama, Japan. It is believed that the tallest lighthouse ever in history was the Pharos, or Lighthouse of Alexandria, which was said to be 140 m or 459 ft high. The highest lighthouse in the world is a different matter. According to the El Dorado County (California) Visitors Authority website: The lighthouse at Sugar Pine Point on Lake Tahoe is the highest lighthouse, in elevation, in the world. It is located between Tahoma and Meeks Bay and stands at an elevation of 6,229 ft, 1,898 m.
