Pebble Island

Pebble Island is the fifth largest in the Falkland archipelago, stretching about 35 kilometers with interior hills and mountains. The eastern part contains lakes and long beaches, while the interior consists of grassland used for farming and raising livestock.

The farm began in 1846 when John Markham Dean purchased the island and three neighboring ones. Since then it has developed as an agricultural settlement that continues to shape life in the southern Falklands.

The settlement shapes daily life through its school, shop, and hotel that serve the local community. These places form the social center for people living and working on the island.

Several accommodation options are available on the island, ranging from lodges to guesthouses with different meal arrangements. The best time to visit is during warmer months when weather is more stable and wildlife is more active.

The eastern section is home to black-necked swans that inhabit the lakes there. Elephant Beach along the coast ranks among the longest sandy beaches across the entire Falkland Islands.
