This red-and-white lighthouse was set up so that boats could avoid rapid currents, and because of its long history, it has also become a local tourist attraction. There is a visitor center near the lighthouse where you can learn about the history and stories of the lighthouse. The neighborhood is very quiet, and the sea breeze is blowing and listening to the sound of the sea is also a very enjoyable thing.
