You can do the calculation or use a curve calculator and it will show you that most lighthouses would be behind the curve even 20 meters above sea level. The globe religion is dying fast.
Ok but how do I verify they are visible? I can't go to open see to do that.
See the edit.
Getting up high will allow you to see farther on a flat plane, that is why they have crow's nests. Not to see over some imaginary curve.
If you really want to know how vision and perspective work then watch this. It's intense.
Angular Resolution and our World

That doesn't make sense. On a flat plane there's nothing below horizon no matter where you stand - you'll just get a different perspective of the objects, but if there are no obstacles and clouding you'll be able to see the shore even if you're in the middle of the ocean (provided there is no fog and waves which seems impossible).
You do not understand angular resolution of vision. This is by design, so you would not be able to grasp the reality you live in and remain easy to deceive.
