About Hwichuyeo Lighthouse
This concrete tower stands 10 meters tall and was built in 2019, becoming operational that same year. It is painted yellow with a single black horizontal band. The lighthouse emits a white light with a characteristic of one white flash every 15 seconds, visible for 10 nautical miles. Located on a shoal near Sinheung harbor, its focal height is 9 meters above sea level. While the site is open, public access to the tower itself is restricted.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks a shoal, aiding vessels navigating in and out of Sinheung harbor, particularly in shallower waters.
