About Wimi Hang East Breakwater Lighthouse
A red, cylindrical concrete tower 10 meters high stands at the end of the east breakwater in Wimi Hang, South Korea. The focal height of its red light is 19 meters, and it emits a single red flash every 6 seconds. This structure marks the eastern entrance to the harbor, which is located about 12 kilometers east of Seogwipo. The lighthouse was inactive between 2017 and 2020 during an extension of the breakwater by 150 meters. Following the completion of this construction, the light was reactivated. Its geographic range is 12.9 nautical miles.
Why it matters: The reactivation of this light after the breakwater's expansion highlights its necessity for safe navigation into Wimi Hang for local fishing boats and other vessels.
