The structure is white with a narrow green horizontal band, and its design is described as round and barbell-shaped. This light guides vessels at the entrance to the Yeşilçay River in Ağva, a resort town located 38 kilometers east of Şile. An earlier light was present in 2013, with the current light established in 2020. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
