About Gaksuseo Lighthouse
Also known as: Gaksuseo (Kaksu-so)
Located off the southwestern tip of Hansando and the western tip of Yonghodo, Gaksuseo Lighthouse is a 13-meter cylindrical concrete tower painted black with a red horizontal band. Its light emits a white flash every 5 seconds from a focal height of 15 meters, with a geographic range of 11.9 nautical miles. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself is closed. It stands near Tongyeong-si in the South Gyeongsang province of South Korea. This lighthouse serves as a navigational aid in the waters between the islands.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for safe passage through the channel separating Hansando and Yonghodo, guiding vessels and helping to prevent groundings on submerged hazards.
