About Hwaambudu Lighthouse
Also known as: Hwaambudu (Hwaamchu Breakwater)
This yellow, cylindrical concrete tower stands 11 meters tall and has a focal height of 17 meters. It is located at the end of a short breakwater extending from a peninsula below the Hwaamchu tower. The lighthouse emits a single yellow flash every 4 seconds, with a geographic range of 12.4 nautical miles. The structure is painted yellow, and though its exact construction date is not recorded, it remains an active aid to navigation. Visitors can access the site, but the tower itself is closed to the public. The nearest port is Ulsan, located 2.5 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The yellow flash characteristic distinguishes Hwaambudu Lighthouse, serving as a visual reference for vessels navigating coastal waters near the Hwaamchu tower and at the end of the breakwater.
