The lighthouse at Cape Lamanon is an active and one of the surviving lighthouses of the Karafuto Prefecture period on Sakhalin. The lighthouse is 27 meters high and was built in 1940. The lighthouse is a round tower. The auxiliary and living rooms are connected by galleries.

Another feature of the lighthouse is the calculation of long–term autonomy: the design used a rainwater collection system, which was filtered and drained into an underground concrete tank. An identical design was used in the Slepikovsky Lighthouse.
Lighthouse Lamanon is located on a stone terrace extending into the Tatar Strait. At the foot of Cape Lamanon, which was named after a physicist, botanist and meteorologist Robert de Lamanon, who participated in the first European expedition of Jean-Francois de La Perouse in 1787, can get into the wave-washed grotto.
The lighthouse is closed to the public. But you can go down to the grotto (cave) or take beautiful panoramic pictures.
