Located roughly 300 nautical miles east of Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina the Falkland Islands are divided by the Falkland Sound into two large island masses ... read more...

  1. West Point Island tops the list of the most beautiful Islands In Falkland. It a small island off the coast of West Falkland. It was given the name Albatross Island because of the thousands of black-browed albatross that nest there. The island is separated from the mainland by the "Woolly Gut," a charmingly named strait. Since 1879, West Point has been privately held by Roddy Napier and his family. West Point Island is known for its breathtaking beauty and diverse animals. The "Devil's Nose" is a rocky promontory with stunning sandstone cliffs, where black-browed albatross and rockhopper penguins live on jagged ledges and tussac grass. Spend your time watching albatross fly gracefully overhead while rockhoppers squabble with their neighbors, or simply lazing in the sun. If you look closely, you might notice something unique in the crowd, such as a macaroni penguin. In the waters below, whales, fur seals, and sea lions are frequently seen.

    The "Devil's Nose" is a 2 kilometer hike from the town that takes you over wide, rolling terrain with beautiful sights. Hikers can enjoy the walk and vista from Cliff Mountain if time allows. This is not only the highest point on the island, but also the highest cliffs in the Falklands, at 381 meters (1,211 ft). A wonderful white sand beach is close by, and a picturesque village is nestled into a sheltered bay. Dolphins frequently visit the bay, especially when a boat is approaching. Magellanic penguins have dug tunnels in the harbour region, and other birds like as striated caracaras and turkey vultures can be seen. Near the farm buildings are fantastically shaded flower and vegetable gardens. West Point Island is accessible by boat on a day trip from Carcass Island, and it is also included on many cruise itineraries. The wonderful smoko served in the farmhouse, which dates from 1880, is a highlight for the latter.

  2. Carcass Island ranked 2nd in the list of the most beautiful islands in Falkland. It is located just north of West Point Island and is named after the British Royal Navy vessel that first surveyed the island in 1766. Carcass Island is only accessible via Zodiac boat (expedition cruise ships visiting the Falkland Islands normally have multiple Zodiacs onboard), but those who are fortunate enough to arrive will be surrounded by an abundance of wildlife.


    Several Magellanic and Gentoo penguin colonies reside on Carcass Island's pristine sand beaches. Because Carcass Island is much flatter than West Point, visitors may go much closer to the penguins (while still keeping a polite distance) and see them swim, march, and huddle for warmth. Photographers can capture the diversity of ducks, geese, falcons, wrens, finches, ovenbirds, and albatrosses that fill the island's beaches and slopes, making Carcass Island a birder's heaven!

  3. The 3rd place in the list of the most beautiful islands in Falkland is Gypsy Cove. Yorke Bay is a bay in the Falkland Islands' East Falkland. It is on a peninsula connected to the mainland by the Boxer Bridge and a narrow isthmus known as "The Neck," half a mile north of Port Stanley Airport and four miles northeast of Stanley, the capital city. Gypsy Cove, on the west side of Yorke Bay, is a tiny bay. On their journey to Stanley Harbour, most cruise ships transit through Yorke Bay and Gypsy Cove. It faces north into Port William, with Canopus Hill to the south, and is a popular breeding habitat for the endangered Magellanic penguin.


    The environment mimics the Caribbean tropics considerably more than the isolated sub-Antarctic, with blinding white sand and clean azure seas. Gypsy Cove, a wildlife preserve about 5 miles outside of Stanley, has a certain allure. Gypsy Cove is home to colonies of Magellanic penguins, oyster catchers, herons, plovers, ducks, and geese, all of which are protected from the strong Falkland Island weather. While the Falkland Islands may appear to be nothing more than a collection of birds and penguins, this is far from the case. The area immediately surrounding Gypsy Cove exemplifies this, with World War II relics and the shipwreck of the 223-foot British barque Lady Elizabeth just a short distance away.
