Until 2007 the light was located on top of a 31 feet (9 m) white square concrete harbor control tower. The focal plane height was 46 feet (14 m) and the visibility range was 5 nautical miles (9 km; 6 mi).[1] Since then, the lee breakwater has been completely redeveloped and the light was moved to a 25 metres (82 ft) skeletal triangular radar tower.[2]
