Also known as: Mokpo Buk Hang (North Harbor) Southwest Breakwater
Constructed in 2009, the Mokpo Buk Hang lighthouse features a tapered octagonal wood tower designed to resemble a windmill. Standing 12 meters tall with a focal height of 16 meters, it emits a red light with a single flash every six seconds. This structure guides vessels navigating the waters near Mokpo, a port city in South Jeolla province. The lighthouse is operational, providing a geographic range of 12.2 nautical miles. While the surrounding site is accessible to the public, the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for the safe navigation of ships entering and departing Mokpo's northern harbor, a significant hub for fishing and commercial activities.
