A one story stucco spanish style lighthouse with an octogonal tower rising from the center, the lantern room has been removed. Every entrance has been bricked in but there are some holes you can look through, bring a flashlight if you intend on seeing anything inside. The building is in an extreme state of decay. Nearby a more modern skeletal tower stands, it holds an active beacon.

Built in 1896 the lighthouse once held a Fifth order Fresnel lens. It was deactivated in 1920 and in 1944 a modern light was placed on a steel tower nearby. The lighthouse was badly damaged during US Navy occupation of the base it sits on from bomb testing and such. In the 1960s the lighthouse was used in the Clint Eastwood film "Heartbreak Ridge". It now sits sealed up & abandoned, though interest has been shown in restoring it.
