About Gamcheon Hang Entrance Range Rear Lighthouse
This square pyramidal concrete skeletal tower, standing 39 meters tall, was built and first lit in 2011. Its red and white horizontal bands distinguish its structure. With a focal height of 162 meters, its green light has a geographic range of 30.7 nautical miles. The tower is situated on a ridge northwest of Gamcheon harbor, approximately 775 meters from the front range light. It likely serves a dual purpose, possibly functioning as a communications tower in addition to its navigational role.
Why it matters: This rear range light works with a front light to guide vessels into Gamcheon harbor, helping to prevent groundings and collisions within the busy entrance channel.
