About Gampo West Breakwater Lighthouse
Constructed in 2016, the Gampo West Breakwater Lighthouse guides mariners into Gampo harbor. This square concrete tower stands 16 meters tall, with its light positioned 15 meters above sea level. It emits a green flash every 6 seconds, visible for nearly 12 nautical miles. The lighthouse was announced in July 2016, replacing a previous light removed in 2015. The structure includes a lantern and gallery, and its design features distinctive cutouts.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for the safe navigation of vessels entering Gampo harbor, preventing groundings on the inner breakwater.
