About Sogodo Lighthouse
Also known as: Sogodo (Umjido) (?)
This concrete lighthouse stands 13 meters tall on an isolated rock west of Umji Island. It features a black tower with a single red horizontal band, mounted on a round base. The light emits a white flash every 5 seconds from a focal height of 11 meters, visible for 10.7 nautical miles. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself is closed. Although removed from the Korean list in 2019, it continues to be charted by international maritime authorities.
Why it matters: Its continued charting by international authorities highlights its ongoing relevance for navigation in this area, particularly for passage around Umji Island.
