Pebble Island is some 24 miles long and is run as a sheep farm, which boasts some fine examples of South American horse tack in its stables. The settlement sits on a narrow neck of land close to a long sandt beach which sometimes doubles as an airstrip.
The Island is scenically attractive: the mountainous western half contrasting the grassy planes of the east, and has some of the most important wetland, and consequently wildfowl breeding areas in the Islands.It is also the only place in the Falkland Islands where all siz species of enguin have been sighted: magellanic, gentoo, rockhopper, macaroni, king and erect crested. The island is also home to concentrations of southern sea lions.
