Morant Cays Lighthouse is 32 miles (51 km) south east of Jamaica on the easternmost point of North-East Cay in the Morant Cays. The Morant Cays are administratively part of St Thomas, Jamaica.
The light lists describe it as a framework tower, so the present tower might not be the original lighthouse.
It is maintained by the Port Authority of Jamaica, an agency of the Ministry of Transport and Works.
