About Geumjin Hang Breakwater Lighthouse
This red, cylindrical concrete tower stands 10 meters tall at the end of Geumjin harbor's north breakwater. Its focal height reaches 16 meters, casting a red light that flashes once every 5 seconds. The structure is located in Gangwon State, approximately 16 kilometers north of Donghae, and serves the waters of Geumjin harbor. It is situated near the port of Okgye/Gangneung, with the nearest port just 0.9 kilometers away. The tower, painted red, offers a geographic range of 12.2 nautical miles.
Why it matters: The light's regular red flash aids local fishing vessels and other small craft in safely identifying the north breakwater and entering Geumjin harbor, helping to prevent groundings and collisions.
