Inaugurated in March 2005, the lighthouse has become an important part of Brunei's maritime infrastructure. The lighthouse stands 32 meters (105 ft) tall and is painted in a distinctive red, white, and blue pattern. Its modern LED lighting emits three white flashes every 15 seconds, with a range of 45 kilometers (28 mi). The tower's hexagonal shape, topped with a lantern and gallery, makes it a striking feature against the coastal landscape. While the lighthouse itself may not be open for daily tours, the surrounding area offers scenic views and a tranquil environment.

The nearby Lumut Beach and fishing villages provide a glimpse into local life and maritime traditions.
