About Hongdo Lighthouse
Hongdo Lighthouse, a two-stage square concrete tower, was built in 1931. Standing 14 meters tall with a focal height of 89 meters, it emits a white flash every 20 seconds. The structure is painted white with a narrow green horizontal band. Located at the northern tip of Hongdo island, approximately 115 km west of Mokpo, it is part of the Dadohaehaesang National Park. The station includes a keeper's house and other buildings. The site is accessible to visitors, but the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse guides vessels navigating the waters west of Mokpo, marking the northern tip of Hongdo island, a key point for coastal traffic.
