The Sanzhiika lighthouse is sometimes called the "runaway lighthouse".
In this area of the Black Sea, there are two underwater currents coming from the Bosphorus and Kerch, which poses a danger to passing ships. In 1792-1793, a decision was made to erect a watchtower here and appoint a garrison for duty. To warn ships of danger, sea flags were hung on the tower, and at night - signal lanterns, which became the prototype of a lighthouse.

Санжійський маяк іноді називають "втікаючим маяком".
У цьому районі Чорного моря зустрічаються дві підводні течії, що йдуть з Босфору і Керчі, що становить небезпеку для суден, що проходять. У 1792-1793 pоках було ухвалено рішення поставити тут сторожову вежу і призначити гарнізон для несення служби. Для попередження кораблів про небезпеку на вежі вивішували морські прапори, а вночі - сигнальні ліхтарі, що стало прообразом маяка.
У 1921 році було збудовано капітальну будівлю маяка, від якої нині залишилася лише табличка. В 1956 році спорудили нинішню будівлю Санжійського маяка. Але оскільки внаслідок обвалення берега море підступало до вежі маяка приблизно на метр на рік, у 2010 році, не чекаючи на критичну ситуацію, маяк перенесли на 80 метрів далі від берега.
