About Pungdo Lighthouse
The Pungdo Lighthouse is an octagonal white concrete tower standing 10 meters tall. Its gallery overlooks the northern tip of Pungdo, an inhabited island located about 20 kilometers northwest of Daesan. The light is positioned 38 meters above sea level and emits a white flash every 6 seconds, visible for 16.7 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though visitors cannot enter the tower itself. The lighthouse's straightforward design complements its functional purpose.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for vessels navigating the waters northwest of Daesan, helping to mark the northern edge of Pungdo island and prevent groundings.
