It is located on the southernmost tip of the Mornington Peninsula. The tower was built from limestone, it is {{convert|21|m}} tall. The light's focal plane is situated {{convert|100|m}} above sea level, the light characteristic is the Morse Code letter "N", a long signal of 10.8 seconds followed by a flash. Depending on the bearing of the light, the colours are either white (south to west sector) or red (east sector). Due to its powerful lantern of one million candela and a first order Fresnel lens, which was installed in 1915, the light has a range of {{convert|26|nmi|km|abbr=on}}. The lighthouse was not only one of the first such buildings in Victoria, it was moreover Australia's first lighthouse tower with stone stairs. During the 1970s and 1980s the facility was restored and has since become an attraction for tourists. Today there is a museum in the old assistants' quarters. Accommodation is available in the old residences of the lighthouse keeper.[1] See also{{stack|{{portal|Victoria|Lighthouses}}}}
