This cylindrical white tower, topped with a green lantern dome, measures 7.5 meters in height and rises from a one-story keeper's house. Its focal height reaches 60 meters, providing a geographic range of 20.1 nautical miles. The light emits a single white flash every 15 seconds, a characteristic that aids in its identification.
