The lighthouse is a 3-storey octagonal reinforced concrete tower capped by an octagonal fibreglass lantern.

The Île aux Perroquets heritage lighthouse is a very good example of a neo-classical-style reinforced concrete lighthouse that reflects the formal three-part classical definitions of base, shaft and capital. It has a restrained aesthetic design that nevertheless includes simple details that add to the visual appeal of its functional structure, such as: a flared cornice, a door surmounted by a pediment and windows surmounted by poured-concrete flat hoods, as well as the traditional red and white exterior colour scheme.

Le phare comprend une octogonale effilée de trois étages en béton armé de couleur blanche surmontée d’une lanterne octogonale.

Le phare patrimonial de l’Île aux Perroquets constitue d’un bel exemple de phare en béton armé de style néo-classique qui présente les trois éléments de ce style : la base, le fût et le chapiteau. Il possède une conception esthétique sobre qui néanmoins comprend des détails simples qui ajoutent à la qualité visuelle de sa structure fonctionnelle, soit : une corniche évasée, une porte surmontée d’un fronton triangulaire, des fenêtres surmontées d’auvents en béton coulé, ainsi que son agencement extérieur traditionnel de couleurs rouge et blanc.
