Why go

Keunggeut Lighthouse stands at the eastern tip of a small coastal headland in southern Korea, marking a working navigation point for the local fishing fleet rather than a tourist landmark. The lighthouse itself is a slender concrete tower with a working rotating light at the top, and the rocky headland around it offers an elevated open-sea view that locals and weekend day-trippers use as a sunrise or sunset point. There are no major facilities on site — a small parking area, a narrow walking path along the rocky outcrop, and a few clusters of native sea-side flora. For travelers it is most useful as a 30-minute coastal stop on a wider regional drive, particularly for those collecting low-key working-lighthouse stops along Korea's coastline rather than touring polished waterfront tourist zones.
