About Amchido Lighthouse
This cylindrical lighthouse stands 12 meters tall with a focal height of 12 meters. Its structure is a round tower topped with a lantern and gallery, painted black and distinguished by a single red horizontal band. It emits a white light that flashes once every 5 seconds, visible for 11 nautical miles. The lighthouse is situated off the northeastern tip of Maedo, an island located northeast of Palgeumdo. The site of the lighthouse is accessible to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This light warns mariners of a shoal in the waters near Maedo and Palgeumdo, aiding safe navigation in this island-rich area.
