About Migido Lighthouse

The Migido lighthouse is a cylindrical concrete tower painted white, standing 15 meters tall. Its light source is positioned 18 meters above sea level. Located off the eastern tip of Dochodo, a small island in South Korea's South Jeolla region, this structure emits a white flash every five seconds. The lighthouse stands on a remote, rocky island accessible only by boat. It has been an active aid to navigation for some time.

Why it matters: This light aids safe passage around Dochodo, helping to prevent groundings in waters with numerous smaller islands and shoals.
