About Maekdo (Maegdo, Maek-to) Southwest Lighthouse
The Maekdo Southwest Lighthouse, a cylindrical concrete tower measuring 13 meters in height, was constructed in 2011. Its octagonal base supports a structure with a focal height of 15 meters above sea level. The tower exhibits two white flashes every period, with a geographic range of 8 nautical miles. Although built to serve as a navigational aid near Mokpo, its operational status is currently inactive. The site is accessible to the public, allowing visitors to view the lighthouse from the exterior, though climbing the tower is not permitted.
Why it matters: This modern concrete lighthouse contributes to the network of navigational markers in South Korean waters.
