Bull Point



Based at the extreme South of East Falklands, Bull Point is an isolated, photogenic location offering access to gentoo and Magellanic penguins, sea lions, and many native plants and flowers. The site is low-lying, and the land immediately around the point was recently cleared of farm stock - leading to an improvement in the diversity of flora.
Reaching the site is a challenging 4WD trek, but visitors are rewarded with wonderful views over an extensive sand dunes system and the coast. A series of permanent and seasonal pools are popular with bird watchers, as they provide valuable habitat for waterfowl and wading birds. Maritime enthusiasts will also enjoy examining the hulk of the Craigielea, a large 3-masted barque that was wrecked on the western point in 1879.
Bull Point is a large site with many points of interest for visitors. It is an excellent full-day trip but much better enjoyed by utilising self-catering accommodation found at various points across North Arm Farm or from Goose Green/Darwin or Walker Creek.
