The tower is a 31 metres (102 ft) tall construction, situated on the southwestern edge of the Reykjanes peninsula.

[1] The original structure was built in 1878; just eight years later the building was destroyed by an earthquake.

In 1929 the current Reykjanesviti lighthouse, a concrete construction yet with traditional looks, was illuminated.

An antenna for the transmission of DGPS-signals in the longwave range is mounted on the rooftop.
