Cape Dolphin


Jutting in to the South Atlantic at the northern tip of East Falklands, Cape Dolphin was named after HMS Dolphin, the vessel used by Commander John Byron when he took possession of the Falklands for the English at Port Egmont in 1765.
Today this beautiful location is a private farm where visitors are welcome to enjoy the beaches and abundant wildlife, including three species of penguin, storm petrels, sea lions, the occasional whale and large numbers of ducks and birds on Swan Pond. For the more adventurous there are excellent hiking opportunities and the chance to explore caves above the waterline. Visitors should set aside a full day to make the most of this diverse site.
