A white brick lighthouse on the hill above Jumunjin Port, first lit in 1918. It is only about 10 m tall, but it was damaged in the Korean War and restored in 1951. From the hill you see the harbor boats and the East Sea at once. The tower itself is white, so do not confuse it with the harbor breakwater lights if you came looking for a red one.
