The lighthouse stands 48 feet tall and features a distinctive white tower with a black lantern. The light is still operational today, serving as an important navigational aid for mariners. Visitors can access the area around the lighthouse, which is part of the Cape Cod National Seashore, and enjoy scenic views of the coastline and surrounding natural beauty.
