Morant Cays Lighthouse is 32miles south east of Jamaica on the easternmost point of North-East Cay in the Morant Cays.[3] The Morant Cays are administratively part of St Thomas, Jamaica.[1]
The light lists describe it as a framework tower, so the present tower might not be the original lighthouse.[2]
It is maintained by the Port Authority of Jamaica, an agency of the Ministry of Transport and Works.[2]
