The nearby waters often attract Commerson’s and Peale’s dolphins. The area is also rich in seabirds and coastal flora, featuring over 80 species of flowering plants, five of which are unique to the Falkland Islands.
- Gypsy Cove - Gypsy Cove is a picturesque location situated just 4 miles from Stanley, making it the most accessible wildlife site from the city. It is part of the Cape Pembroke peninsula, a National Nature Reserve. The cove is renowned for its stunning white sand beach and sheltered bay, making it a wonderful place to visit.
A key attraction at Gypsy Cove is the colony of Magellanic penguins, also known as Jackass penguins due to their braying sounds, which breed here, nesting underground in burrows.
There is more than just penguins to see here; other birdlife you might encounter while visiting Gypsy Cove includes black-crowned night-herons, oystercatchers, long-tailed meadowlarks, two-banded plovers, Falklands flightless steamer ducks, upland and kelp geese. Occasionally, you might even spot some sea lions as they sometimes visit.
In addition to the wildlife, there are historical remnants from World War II, including old gun emplacements at nearby Ordinance Point.
- Lady Elizabeth Shipwreck - Situated at the east end of Stanley Harbour is Stanley’s most impressive and iconic shipwreck. Known as Lady Liz, the ship was launched in Sunderland, UK, in 1879 and sustained damage while rounding Cape Horn in 1913. She made her way to Stanley for repairs, but the high cost prevented any from being carried out. After various moorings in Stanley Harbour, a violent gale in 1936 forced the Lady Liz into her current resting place.
- Cape Pembroke Lighthouse - Built in 1855, the 18m/59ft tall lighthouse is located on the easternmost point of the Falkland Islands. For many years, the lighthouse was the most southerly manned lighthouse in the world. If you’re fortunate, you may spot dolphins, peregrine falcons, and whales. It’s a favorite spot to enjoy a peaceful lunch away from others.
- Yorke Bay - Gentoo and King penguins on stunning white sand beaches. Experience walking along the beach or through the tall sand dunes. There’s also a chance to watch dolphins.
