The lighthouse was automated and de-manned in 1988 – the fog-signal was discontinued at this time.

The fog signal and the lighthouse next door is open to the public and can be visited. The fog horn is in maintained in working order and is sounded regularly for visitors. See local information about opening times, etc.

When in use, the fog horn sounds one 3 second blast every 30 seconds (it has a range of 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 miles))
