About Gisamun Hang Lighthouse
The Gisamun Hang lighthouse is a cylindrical concrete tower standing 11 meters tall, with the light positioned 16 meters above sea level. This structure, painted red, guides vessels at the entrance to a small harbor sheltered by the Gisamun Dan cape. Its light emits a red flash every 6 seconds, visible for 12.2 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though climbing the tower is not permitted. The nearest major port, Sokcho, is located 12.9 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for safe navigation into the small harbor at Gisamun Dan, especially for local fishing fleets, by marking the breakwater.
