With the extinguishing of the Lighthouse Light in March 2012 the Lighthouse was put up for sale by the Northern Lighthouse Board and with the help of the Lossiemouth Business Association and the local community the Covesea Lighthouse Community Company Ltd was set up with the purpose of effecting the Community Right to Buy. In 2013 after securing substantial funding the company purchased the entire Lighthouse Complex at Covesea with the plan to develop the iconic landmark as a major tourism hub to promote local heritage, the area's unique wildlife and environment and its links to the nearby airbase at RAF Lossiemouth. The company is run by volunteers who manage: the rental of the 2 keepers cottages, tours of the Lighthouse and the RAF/RNAS centre (situated within the grounds below the Lighthouse).

The coastal town of Lossiemouth is just over a mile away and can be reached by walking along the lovely beach. It offers the visitor a range of facilities including sea angling, stunning unspoilt beaches and wildlife, an excellent range of shopping and quality restaurants and cafes, all making the most of the plentiful supply of fresh seafood. The Silver Sands Holiday Park is just 5 minutes walk from the lighthouse and here you will find a shop, cafe, bar and a play area for children. Lossiemouth also offers visitors a range of golfing opportunities with its two 18-hold golf courses. Situated on the north east coast of Scotland, Lossiemouth is favoured by the mild Gulf Stream air, miles of excellent beaches and beautiful surrounding countryside. The town began as a port at the mouth of the River Lossie to help the town of Elgin in trading. The port is now a busy town itself and a spectacular marina has been developed in the twin basined harbour. The town known affectionately as simply 'Lossie' offers something for everyone. History records a hermit who inhabited a cave and would walk the headland with a torch to warn ships away from the dangerous rocks of the Skerries.
