Wimi Hang West Breakwater Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Wimi Hang West Breakwater Lighthouse
This cylindrical concrete tower stands 10 meters tall, with its light positioned 13 meters above sea level. Painted white, it marks the seaward end of the west breakwater at Wimi Hang. The lighthouse emits a green flash every 6 seconds, visible for 11.3 nautical miles. Access to the site is permitted, allowing visitors to approach the structure, though the tower itself is not open to the public. This functional aid to navigation is located near Seogwipo-si on Jeju island.
Why it matters: The green light helps local fishing boats and other small vessels identify the western boundary of the Wimi Hang harbor entrance and avoid grounding on the breakwater.
