Elephant Beach Farm


Neighboured by Cape Dolphin, Elephant Beach Farm extends from Port San Carlos Road all the way to the rugged north coast. Driving from the farmhouse across undulating grassland towards the coast, visitors will reach the gentoo colony overlooking a spectacular tidal lagoon. At the mouth of the lagoon visitors can sit and relax on the grassy banks, littered with large numbers of whale bones in excellent condition. This area has been fenced off to protect an extensive tussac restoration site, an ongoing project undertaken with the assistance of Falklands Conservation and local volunteers. The western side of the lagoon provides excellent sheltered camping and great opportunities for relaxed fishing and cliff-top bird watching.
Along the coast towards the eastern boundary visitors can drive and then walk along a succession of beaches, finding gentoo and Magellanic penguins and the rare Falklands pebble if you're lucky! Those staying on the property can cater for themselves - or ask Ben to prepare a traditional Falklands meal using meat and produce from the farm.
