About Beugam Lighthouse

Also known as: Beugam (Paegam)

The Beugam lighthouse stands as a 13-meter hexagonal concrete tower, painted green. Situated off the northern tip of Geojedo, it guards a rocky reef at the northern entrance to Tongyeong Bay. Its green light emits a single flash every five seconds from a focal height of 14 meters. This structure serves as an active aid to navigation in the region.

Why it matters: The lighthouse's green flash provides a clear navigational reference, warning vessels away from the rocky reef off Geojedo's northern tip as they enter or leave the northern part of Tongyeong Bay.
