Its focal plane reaches 35 meters, providing a visible range of 16.2 nautical miles. The structure is situated on the northeasternmost island of the Îles Kamouraska archipelago, about 7 kilometers north of the village of Kamouraska. Access to the site is permitted, but the tower remains closed to visitors.
