About Oeyeondo West Breakwater Lighthouse
The Oeyeondo West Breakwater lighthouse was established in 2023, coinciding with an extension of the breakwater it marks. This cylindrical concrete tower stands 10 meters tall and emits a green flashing light with a cycle of 6 seconds. Its focal height reaches 17 meters, providing a geographic range of 12.4 nautical miles. The structure is painted white and is situated at the end of Oeyeondo's main western breakwater. While the tower is closed to visitors, the site and breakwater are accessible, allowing individuals to approach the base.
Why it matters: This lighthouse serves as a clear navigational aid, marking the extended west breakwater and guiding vessels safely into the port of Boryeong. Its recent construction underscores its current relevance to local shipping lanes.
