You can sleep in a lighthouse above shark-filled waters

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Vacations are supposed to be relaxing, but some psychos prefer sleeping in a decommissioned Coast Guard lighthouse dangling 85 feet above shark-infested waters. The Frying Pan Tower is an offshore hotel where you can pay premium prices to be completely isolated from society while the rusty floorboards creak during Atlantic hurricanes. It's basically a luxury panic attack.
