The front light (left in top photo) is a 6 meter (19 foot) square wood tower with lantern, rising from a 1-story square wood utility building. It is located at the end of the east breakwater of the auto ferry entrance into the harbor.

The rear light (right in top photo) is a 10 meter (32 foot) square pyramidal wood tower with lantern and gallery. It is located on the east breakwater of the auto ferry entrance into the harbor about 150 meters (500 feet) north of the front range light.

Both lights are still active and overlook the Northumberland Strait on the southeast shore of PEI.
