Constructed from granite, it remains operational and is notable for its French colonial architecture, island setting, and panoramic views of the East Sea.

Visitors reach Ke Ga Islet by short motorboat or basket boat from Ke Ga Beach, about 300 meters offshore. The islet features the 65-meter granite lighthouse with 183 spiral iron steps leading to the lantern room and balcony with 360-degree sea views. The site includes the keeper's house and granite structures surrounded by rocky coastline, casuarina trees, and clear water. Visitors can explore the lighthouse interior, photograph the colonial architecture, and walk around the small island.

Built by the French colonial administration between 1897 and 1899 and inaugurated in 1900, designed by French architect Chnavat. Constructed from granite quarried locally, it is the oldest and tallest lighthouse in Vietnam at 65 meters. It was built to guide ships through the Ke Ga waters and remains operational with its original French optical system and structure.
