The reef is described as being "a bank of sand, {{convert|2.5|nmi|abbr=off}} in extent, with depths of less than {{convert|5|m|abbr=off}}, that lies in the middle of Tiparra Bay" with a"limestone ledge, {{convert|0.1|nmi|abbr=off}} long in a N[orth] S[outh] direction and about {{convert|20|m|abbr=off}} wide, that just dries, lies on the S[outh] W[est] end of the reef {{convert|5|nmi|abbr=off}} N[orth] W[est] of Cape Elizabeth" (which is the southern headland of Tiparra Bay).[1] The limestone ledge was the site of an operational lighthouse from August 1877 until 1995 when its service was largely replaced by a light tower located on Warburto Point about {{convert|14|km|abbr=off}} to the north-east. Much of the lighthouse structure remains in place along with a minor navigation aid consisting of a flashing light.[2][3][4][5] References1. ^{{cite enroute|175|2017|200}} 2. ^{{Gazetteer of Australia|name= Tiparra Reef|feature= SA0066638 }} 3. ^1 {{Citation | author1=South Australia.
