History
The lighthouse was established in 1907 and automated in 2002. The 16-metre (52 ft) tall tower is attached to a lighthouse keeper's house. The main light on top of the lighthouse emits one white flash every 30 seconds. The 79,200-candela main light can be seen for up to 14.8 nautical miles (27.4 km; 17.0 mi). There is also a secondary light 3 metres (9.8 ft) below the main light. The secondary light emits a red light: 2 seconds on and then 2 seconds off. The site is only accessible by boat.
