Taeha Lighthouse & Daepunggam
태하등대・대풍감
Ride a monorail up to Taeha Lighthouse for views over the sea cliffs of Daepunggam, rated one of Korea's ten hidden gems.
Taeha lies at the northwest corner of Ulleungdo and is one of the earliest settled places on the island. From Taeha Port, the Hyangmok monorail takes about 6 minutes to climb the hill. Then it's about a 10-minute walk to the viewing platform beside Taeha Lighthouse, where you look down on the vertical sea cliffs of Daepunggam and the coastline stretching north. The layered sea is listed as one of Korea's ten hidden gems. The Hwangtogu coastal trail near Taeha Port is also worth a walk. The monorail is paid, and queue times depend on crowds.
