Volunteer Beach
Volunteer Beach provides a sheltered home for more than 750 breeding pairs of king penguins, the Falklands largest colony. A few hours walk east of the beach, Volunteer Point hosts an offshore breeding colony of southern fur seals (bring binoculars); the return walk along Volunteer Lagoon provides glimpses of elephant seals.
During the summer months Falklands Conservation has a warden stationed at the beach. The warden can answer questions and has an information kiosk at the carpark, where there are also some informative display boards. Volunteer Beach is about a 2.5hr drive from Stanley.
