澎湖極西「花嶼」 新興觀光景點
位於國土最西端的澎湖花嶼離島，日據時期在島上設立燈塔，由於矗立在島上最高點，可俯瞰全島美景，加上燈塔造型特殊，現除了海上照明功能之外，也成為澎湖新興的觀光景點，成為花嶼島上海釣、賞鳥及古厝巡禮外，另類的觀光選擇。
興建於民國二十八年（西元一九三九年）九月的花嶼燈塔，塔高為十二點五公尺、燈高為六十四點六公尺，裝有四等電石器閃光燈，每五秒閃白光一次，光力為一千六百支燭光，二次大戰期間曾因物資嚴重缺乏而停止發光，光復後才派員修復發光，現由財政部海關總署所轄，設有管理員一名，負責管理及維修工作。
花嶼燈塔有「花嶼之光」的稱號，醒目的雪白身軀，矗立在花嶼西北角高約五十公尺的山坡上，其光照二十一海里，為澎湖西南方作業漁船重要標誌，夏初登上塔頂俯瞰全島，就能感受先民稱花嶼為「花草青蔥」的感受，而燈塔北側有玄武岩風化石柱，由於酷似人形，當地人稱為「石人」。
由於花嶼為國土的最西端，因此戰略地位相當重要，昔日日據時代曾建築防禦工事，由花嶼燈塔一直到煙墩山，全長約二公里，為高一公尺、寬一公尺，兩條距離約五公尺的雙層防禦工事，全數由玄武岩堆砌而成，中間為步道，與花嶼燈塔連接成觀光動線。
花嶼為澎湖六十四個島群中唯一非玄武岩組成的島嶼，全島由麥飯石所組成，鄰近大小貓嶼燕鷗自然生態保育區，除了推廣海釣、賞鳥自然觀光外，島上人文古蹟巡禮也是觀光特色，新近又增加花嶼燈塔及日據防禦工事觀光步道，成為另類觀光特色。
