This red, cylindrical concrete post stands 8.5 meters tall and was first lit in 1937. It is situated on the west breakwater of Akune's original harbor. The structure includes a 1-story concrete equipment room. Its light emits an occulting red signal every 6 seconds, visible for 11 nautical miles. The lighthouse is located 0.2 kilometers from the nearest port of Akune. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
