1. Gypsy Cove
Other AttractionTo see some Magellanic penguins, take a trip to Gypsy Cove, just 6.5 km (4 miles) north of Port Stanley. With white bands encircling black faces, these 15-inch penguins look like miniature clowns. If startled, the penguins flop on their bellies and use their flippers like whirligigs to scramble toward their burrows. If you're feeling more adventurous, you can take a guided nature walk from the wreck of the 19th-century Lady Elizabeth to Gypsy Cove and observe numerous flora and fauna on the way. Guides can be hired locally, but at busy times—when cruise ships are in port—this may be difficult, so it's better to prebook an excursion.

2. Victory Green
Other AttractionFarther along is Victory Green, a wide expanse of grass skirting Stanley Harbour near the Town Hall. The four cannon here are from Port Louis, the Islands' first capital. The late-19th-century Hotchkiss guns are still fired for special celebrations.

3. Volunteer Point
Other AttractionVolunteer Point should not be missed if you have a full day on the island. The easternmost tip of East Falkland is home to a large colony of king penguins. After a rough three-hour off-road riding adventure, the moor may seem deserted until the penguins appear like a comical mirage out of synch with the surroundings. With their rotund stomachs propped on the ground, the chicks look like fuzzy, overripe pears.
