About Eodal South Breakwater Lighthouse

A white, cylindrical concrete tower, standing 6 meters tall, marks the south breakwater of Eodal harbor. Projections at the top of the structure suggest outstretched arms. The light emits a single green flash every 6 seconds. Situated on the north side of Mukho, this structure is located on the breakwater itself, approximately 1.4 kilometers from the nearest port. The tower's light has a geographic range of 10 nautical miles. The site is accessible to visitors, though the tower is closed.

Why it matters: This light aids local fishing vessels and small craft in safely entering Eodal harbor from the sea. Its distinctive green flash helps differentiate the south breakwater from other aids.
