About Somajindo Lighthouse
The Somajindo lighthouse is located on the northwest end of an island in South Korea's South Jeolla region, differentiating the waterway between Anjwado and Palgeumdo. The structure is an 8.5-meter-tall octagonal tower made of white concrete. Its light displays a single white flash every 4 seconds, with a range of 11.6 nautical miles. The site is open for visits, but public entry into the tower is not permitted. Mokpo, the closest port, is 13 kilometers distant.
Why it matters: This navigation aid marks the channel between Anjwado and Palgeumdo, assisting local fishing vessels and inter-island transport.
