About Chiram Detached Breakwater North End Lighthouse
Also known as: Chiram Detached Breakwater North End (Sea Eel Lighthouse)
This cylindrical concrete tower, standing 8 meters tall, was constructed in 2014 at the north end of a short detached breakwater in Chiram, South Korea. Its focal height reaches 10.97 meters above sea level. The structure is distinguished by its unique design, featuring two spiraling strands that weave together. It emits a single green flash, visible for 10.7 nautical miles. The tower is painted brown and remains operational, guiding vessels in the local waters.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for local fishing boats and small vessels navigating the coastal waters around Chiram, clearly marking the extent of the breakwater to prevent collisions. Its distinctive spiraling design also serves as a visual cue for daytime navigation.
