The lights are accessed by ladders which extend up the columns through an opening in the platform. Each column carries a steel daymark painted black and white.[2] There is also a leading light beacon on the cliff below West Blockhouse Fort, set up by Trinity House engineers in 1957. This has a second-hand round metal lantern (ex Rame Head) which is {{convert|2|ft|7|in}} in diameter, supported on a bolted iron pedestal, standing on a concrete platform cantilevered from the cliffs and reached by a steeply descending flight of steps.[2] The beacons are operated by the Milford Haven Conservancy Board and are approached via Dale then the road to St Ann’s Head, turning left into Maryborough Farm Road, and then taking a right turn.
