About Ayajin North Breakwater Lighthouse
This cylindrical concrete tower stands 10 meters tall, with its light positioned 17 meters above sea level. Located on the main north breakwater at Ayajin, it is approximately 8 kilometers north of Sokcho in Gangwon State. The structure is painted red and features eight fins, giving it a design reminiscent of a rocket. It emits a single red flash every 5 seconds, visible for a geographic range of 12.4 nautical miles. While the lighthouse site is accessible to the public, the tower itself is closed to entry.
Why it matters: This lighthouse guides local vessels into Ayajin harbor, especially those approaching from the north. Its unique rocket-like shape serves as a recognizable landmark for mariners.
