The current tower is 6.4 metres (21 ft) high, constructed of concrete blocks in a square plan with chamfered corners, with a small porch at the base.
A round gallery surrounded with a metal rail overhangs the tower.
A self-contained beacon is installed on top of the gallery.

The keeper's residence includes two cottages, timber-framed, clad with asbestos cement sheets and timber battens, painted white.
The gabled roofs are clad with corrugated iron, painted green.
Other similarly constructed structures at the premises include a store, the old powerhouse and a winch house, all mounted on high concrete foundations.
The new powerhouse, constructed in 1964, is constructed of concrete blocks, painted white.
It includes a large main room and an adjoined porch, both with projecting flat concrete roofs.
There are also other sheds of small to medium size on the site, mostly timber-framed with corrugated iron walls and roof.

Also notable is the still functional rail line, a cement pathway with steel rails going down to the beach.
It includes a trolley of timber on a metal base, a metal rope, a winch and a motor.
There is also a cement helipad close-by.

There are also some remains in the area.
These include two nonoperational auxiliary leading lights, the western light timber-framed clad with fibro and the eastern one made of concrete.
The remains of the previous lighthouses are in a gully north of the station
