The Kanai Creek Lighthouse, a cylindrical concrete tower, was built and first lit in 1983. It stands 30 meters tall with a focal height of 34 meters and displays a white light with one flash every 20 seconds. The tower's exterior is painted with horizontal bands of black and white. Located north of the mouth of Kanai Creek, it is situated just 2.1 kilometers from the nearest port, Hazira.
