Built in 1971, this lighthouse is an 8.5-meter white concrete post topped with a lantern. It is attached to a single-story concrete equipment shelter and stands at the end of the south breakwater.

This navigational aid extends into the sea, marking the harbor's entrance and providing a geographic range of 10.7 nautical miles.
