The only settlement is located on a narrow isthmus close to Elephant Beach, the longest sand beach in the Falklands at just over 4 miles (6½ km). In the heart of the settlement is Pebble Island Lodge. Originally built as the farm manager's house in 1928, it has always been a focal point of this remote island community. Converted to a lodge in 1987, it is now ideally adapted to suit the needs of visitors from around the world. Great care has been taken to ensure that it retains the warm and friendly atmosphere of a traditional Falkland farm house. It provides a superb base from which to explore a wildlife-rich environment and experience a large Falkland farm at work. Your hosts, both Falkland Islanders, offer a full-board service and extend a very warm welcome to their guests. The lodge can accommodate up to 11 people in comfortable rooms of various configurations, all of which are en-suite.
