About Nokdo Approach Lighthouse
This cylindrical concrete tower, painted black with a single red horizontal band, stands 21 meters tall with its light positioned 17 meters above sea level. It is mounted on a round concrete pier and is located off the northern tip of Nokdo island, midway between Daecheon and Oryeongdo. The lighthouse emits a white flash every 5 seconds, visible for 12.4 nautical miles. The site is accessible by boat and open to the public, though the tower itself is closed to visitors. It is situated in the Boryeong-si area of South Chungcheong province.
Why it matters: This light is essential for safe passage around Nokdo island, marking a key point for vessels traveling between the coastal cities of Daecheon and Oryeongdo and helping to prevent groundings on the island's northern tip.
