Gypsy Cove and Yorke Bay are coastal areas near Stanley known for their pale sand beaches and accessible wildlife. Both sites are good places to observe Magellanic penguins, and occasionally King penguins, from designated paths and boardwalks. The short walking routes and open landscapes make them easy to explore.

Photography Tips

Go in a low perspective for some nice unsharp foreground with an open aperture but don't disturb the wildlife and keep the distance to the penguins.

Travel Information

Stay within the areas of allowances to protect the wildlife. You can easily walk here from Port Stanley (1:30h approx.) or take the local caps. Sometimes hitchhiking works out as well in these areas since the locals are quite friendly.
