The modern design, which has been called "ungainly",[2] consists of a square base faced with dark volcanic rock, supporting a concrete tower with external stairways leading to a cantilevered gallery.

[2] The lighthouse is not connected to the electricity grid, but instead is powered by six solar panels charging a set of batteries.

[2][3] The area around the lighthouse is accessible following a steep climb via a road with many hairpin turns from the resort of Puerto de Mogán, although the tower itself is closed.

[2] The nearby harbour in Puerto de Mogán has two smaller aids to navigation, which mark the entrance to the port and marina.

[2][4] On the opposite side of the entrance, next to the hotel is a beacon 2 m high, that shows a flashing green light.
