Pebble Island is around 30 kilometres in length with its eastern tip just a short distance from West Falkland. The centre of the island is marked by the large Elephant Bay, and the island’s main settlement sits on a narrow neck of land close to a long sandy beach, which sometimes doubles as an airstrip.

It astoundingly beautiful, the mountainous western half contrasting the grassy plains of the east, and has some of the most important wetland, and consequently wildfowl breeding areas, in the Islands. It also supports a number of penguin colonies and concentrations of sea lions.

One of the front-lines during the Falklands Conflict, sheep farming is once again the main activity on Pebble Island, with some pigs, cattle and feral goats also present.
