Its focal height reaches 25 meters above sea level, emitting a white light with one flash every 10 seconds. Located on a promontory on Mnarani Road, it overlooks the south side of Malindi's harbor. The lighthouse has a geographic range of 14.3 nautical miles and is situated approximately 170 meters south of the Pillar.
