About Daepo Hang West Breakwater Lighthouse
Also known as: Taep'o
A white, cylindrical concrete tower standing 10 meters tall was erected in 2009 at the Daepo Hang West Breakwater. This structure, featuring a lantern and gallery, includes four ribs on its exterior. The lighthouse emits a green light, with a single flash occurring every 5 seconds, visible for 12.7 nautical miles. Its focal plane is 18 meters above the water. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself is closed. The nearest port is Sokcho, located 1.6 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for guiding fishing and commercial vessels into Daepo Port. Its green light marks the western edge of the channel, helping to prevent groundings on the breakwater.
