Songdo Point [1] ( Korean: 송도 , 松島 , " Pine-Island Cape") is a North Korean headland in the middle of the country's eastern coast along the Sea of Japan. It is located in Sinpo in South Hamgyong province.

Names

Songdo Point is also known by its Korean name Songdo [2] or Song Do Gap. [3] During the Japanese occupation of Korea, it was known as Shōtō-kō. [4]

Geography

Songdo Point is a dark promontory joined to the coast about 13 miles (21 km) east of Sinpo [5] by a low white [2] sand bar. [5] It has two summits, which can appear to be small islands when observed from a distance. [2] It is the eastern entrance to the Yanghwa Man. [2]

Structures

There is a 59 m (194 ft) lighthouse on Songdo Point which is active but closed to the public. [5] The American National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency notes, however, that "the existence and operation of all navigational aids should be considered unreliable on the east coast of North Korea". [3]
