About Palgeumdo Lighthouse
Also known as: Palgeumdo (P'algum Do)
Constructed in 1971, the Palgeumdo lighthouse stands as a 6-meter tall, cylindrical concrete tower. Situated on the western tip of Palgeumdo island, northeast of Anjwado, its light reaches a focal height of 18 meters. The lighthouse emits a white flash every 6 seconds, visible for 12.7 nautical miles. The site is accessible to visitors, though the tower itself is closed to the public. Its nearest port is Mokpo, located 14.3 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse aids local maritime traffic navigating the waters between Palgeumdo and Anjwado, helping vessels avoid the island's western extremity.
