Notes: Phyllis Beer writes: "In 1954-55 I used to play on this beach as we lived in cottage #3 that was within yards/meters of this lighthouse. I was about ten years old. The lighthouse had a large red diamond on the side and still had the walkway to the door. I used to walk around the base of the lighthouse even if the tide was nearly up to the top of the base. Thanks for the memories." Height of Focal Plane: 36 Characteristic and Range: Fixed red. Description of Tower: White, square pyramidal tower with red lantern and red stripe.
