A model Beacon, Tri-ang Minic Ships M 882.
The beacon is rather small and fiddly, but can be used anywhere that one might consider using the 878 Lighthouse. Multiple beacons are useful as a subtle way of adding complexity and detail to a harbour model, where studding the layout with full-bown lighthouses might look silly.
