About Gwangam Lighthouse
Gwangam Lighthouse, a concrete cylindrical tower, was built in 2002 and stands 15 meters tall. It is situated on a skerry approximately 1 kilometer northwest of Hongwon harbor. The lighthouse emits a single red flash every 5 seconds from a focal height of 13 meters, with a geographic range of 11.3 nautical miles. The structure consists of a round concrete tower on a round concrete pier. While the site is accessible to the public, the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse warns vessels of the skerry it occupies, assisting safe navigation for ships approaching Hongwon harbor.
