About Bangtan Lighthouse
Also known as: Bangtan (Pangtangso, Pangtang Rock)
Bangtan Lighthouse stands as a cylindrical red tower 13 meters in height, with its lantern and gallery situated on a solitary rock within the Myeongnyang Strait. This strait, which separates Jindo Island from the mainland, lies approximately 4 kilometers east of the Jindo Bridge. The lighthouse emits a red flash every 4 seconds, visible for 11.3 nautical miles. The site itself is accessible to visitors, although the tower structure is closed to the public. The nearest port facilities are located in Daebul/Yeongam-gun, about 12.5 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse guides vessels through the Myeongnyang Strait, a waterway characterized by strong tidal currents and submerged hazards that require careful navigation.
