About Ando Hang West Breakwater Lighthouse
This octagonal cylindrical concrete tower was constructed in 1994 and stands 8 meters tall, with its light positioned at a focal height of 13 meters. Located on the west breakwater of Ando harbor, it is attached to a smaller island that shelters the port. The lighthouse emits a single green flash, visible for 9 nautical miles. It served the western approach to Ando harbor, near Yeosu-si in South Korea's South Jeolla region. The site remains open to visitors, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse was essential for guiding vessels into Ando harbor, delineating the safe channel for entry from the west breakwater.
