I've never heard any on shortwave as far as I remember.

There are quite a few beacons on shortwave, off the top of my head I
believe the amateur radio system on 14100 is still up and operating for
checking propagation on 20 meters. There are some on 10 meters also.

There are also the HIFER beacons that I know of (check Google).

I'm sure there are more.

So, one does not need to get a longwave radio to listen to beacons!
