About Sorido Lighthouse
Also known as: Sorido (Sori Do, Yeondo)
Established in 1910, the Sorido Lighthouse stands on a sharp promontory at the southeastern edge of Yeondo. The hexagonal cylindrical concrete tower, standing 9 meters tall, is painted white and features a lantern and gallery. It is attached to a single-story concrete keeper's house. The light emits a white flash every 12 seconds from a focal height of 82 meters, with a geographic range of 22.9 nautical miles. This station, located in the South Jeolla region near Yeosu-si, guides vessels navigating the coastal waters.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's hexagonal tower shape is a distinctive architectural feature. Its location provides essential navigation for vessels rounding the promontory at Yeondo's southeastern tip.
