About Sikdo West Lighthouse
The Sikdo West Lighthouse stands as a 14-meter cylindrical metal tower, with its light positioned 16 meters above sea level. It emits a single white flash every 15 seconds, visible for 12.2 nautical miles. This structure is situated on a rocky reef off the west coast of Sikdo, a small island located north of Wido. The nearest port, Gunsan, is 26 kilometers away. The lighthouse is accessible only by boat, reflecting its remote setting on the western coast of South Korea.
