This square concrete tower, standing 5 meters high, is located at the west end of Västra Petisholmen on the south side of a ship channel. Its lantern and gallery sit atop the structure. The light emits three distinct colors: white, red, and green, cycling every 3 seconds. It has a focal height of 7 meters and a geographic range of 9.3 nautical miles. The site of the lighthouse is open to visitors, though the tower itself is closed. The nearest port is Nagu, 4.4 kilometers away.
