The hexagonal pyramidal wooden tower has a square lantern and a hexagonal gallery. It is shingled and painted white with red trim. The gallery is supported by wooden brackets. The windows and door have pedimented caps.

It is on the end of the former ferry pier and for many years guided the car ferries into the harbour. The pier has been purchased by a fish packing company that has built a factory there so access to the lighthouse is restricted.

The two range lights were decommissioned in June, 1997, when the Confederation Bridge was opened, but the pier lighthouse has remained an active light, providing guidance for the fishing boats and other marine traffic. It is maintained from April to December.
