Mingyedo Lighthouse, an octagonal white concrete tower measuring 11 meters in height, is found in South Korea's South Jeolla province. Its light displays a white flash every 6 seconds, with the light source positioned 24 meters above sea level. This functioning navigational marker has a visibility range of 14.1 nautical miles. The structure is located on an islet in the waterway separating the mainland from the Yanggan Peninsula, west of the Chilsan Bridge, denoting the entry to Hampyeong Man. Public access is permitted to the grounds, but the tower is closed off.
Why it matters: This lighthouse provides navigation for safe passage through the waterway between the mainland and the Yanggan Peninsula, directing vessels into Hampyeong Man.
