The light sits at an elevation of 17 metres (56 ft), emitting a white, red, or green light depending on direction. The light is occulting once every 6 seconds. The 12 metres (39 ft) tall square stone tower is attached to one end of a one-story keeper's house. The lighthouse is painted white and the lantern and gallery on top are painted red. A foghorn emits two blasts every 60 seconds.[4]
