The Lighthouse is a coastal landmark in Melino, the launch town of Paralives. It is a tall tower built on the edge of a cliff, looking over the sea next to the town's Beach. It contributes to the maritime character of the settlement, which the studio frames as a historical port and trading post. See Town Venues for the full venue directory and Lore and World-Building for the town's history.
The tower is painted white and red, with benches at its base and vine growth at the foundation. Its door appears boarded up, but entry to the first floor is possible; the upper floors are currently inaccessible. The lighthouse is the most architecturally distinct structure in the area and sits closest to the Industrial side of town.
The lighthouse area includes panoramic binoculars with a "Look at panoramic view" action. Selecting it starts a camera sequence showing views of the town, with the scene updating dynamically to reflect player changes and the time-of-day lighting. This makes the lighthouse one of the scenic viewpoints a Parafolk can use to take in the town. The panoramic-view interaction is one of the kinds of activities that also surface as objectives through Goals.

The lighthouse is part of a lot that, by default, houses the Wake household, occupied by Emma Wake. Because it is a playable residential lot rather than a pure decoration, the lighthouse can be customized in Build Mode when a player controls the Wake family, so a household that moves in can reshape the structure around the tower. The full resident roster is documented on the Parafolk page.
The lighthouse sits on the coastline near the beach and is adjacent to the Premium Gym. It is reachable via the H bus stop, and as with every lot it sits in a seamless open world with no loading screens; see Bus Stops and Town Districts. The lighthouse was the first point of interest revealed for the game back in 2020, when it was used during day-and-night cycle development before the town map was finalized, and it remains a long-standing visual anchor for the coastline.
