Visit the iconic red lighthouse and museum dedicated to Hendrik Hamel, the first Westerner to document Korea for the world. In 1653, Hamel and his crew were shipwrecked and spent 13 years in Korea, with their final years right here in Yeosu before escaping back to the Netherlands. At the museum, I will share the poignant story of these Dutch sailors and their cultural impact on the Joseon Dynasty. It is a perfect spot for a scenic walk along the Marine Park, offering great photo opportunities with the vibrant lighthouse and the Geobukseon Bridge in the background.
