Pebble Island
Home » Falkland Islands » Falkland Islands - Major Cities and Regions » Pebble IslandPebble Island is 24 miles long and is also primarily a sheep farm. The only settlement on the island, which includes Pebble Island Lodge, is located on a narrow piece of land near a sandy beach. The lodge, which was formerly the farm manager’s home, allows you to experience life in a traditional Falkland farmhouse while also being very comfortable as well. The island’s mountainous western area differs greatly than the wetland plains on the eastern side. Here you will find Falkland’s most important wildfowl breeding areas. These diverse areas of Pebble Island are home to 42 resident bird species. It is notably the only place in the Falklands where six species of penguin occur regularly: the breeding gentoos, magellanics, rockhoppers, visiting kings, macaronis, and an erect-crested. Southern sea lions can also be seen around the coast.
