The tower is built of reinforced concrete and carried the original light from Breaksea Island. In 1917, an AGA lantern was fixed and the lighthouse was no longer manned. The lens is on loan to the WA Maritime Museum and takes pride of place on the upper level of the new museum, its lens continually rotating displaying its flash sequence against the walls.

The Lighthouse is erected near to the place where Dirk Hartog landed in 1616.
