About Bongpo Lighthouse
Also known as: Bongpo (Pongpo) North Breakwater
This active lighthouse, completed and first lit in 2022, features a 10-meter tall cylindrical concrete tower painted red. The structure, which includes a lantern and gallery, has a focal height of 15 meters. Its red light emits a single flash every five seconds, visible for 11.9 nautical miles. The lighthouse site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself is closed. Located near the port of Sokcho, it serves the Gangwon State region.
Why it matters: The lighthouse aids local fishing fleets and other maritime traffic in safely navigating the coastal waters, with its distinct red flash serving as a critical visual aid for location identification.
