About

Named after the ship, the Volunteer, Volunteer Point is part of Johnson’s Harbour Farm and located in the northeast of East Falkland. Accessible by road and then overland vehicle journey or by helicopter.The peninsula boasts a stunning, long, white sand beach and is home to a variety of birdlife. It is a privately owned Nature Reserve and an Important Bird Area. The largest breeding group of king penguins in the islands is found here. A cacophony of sounds greets visitors on arrival, from the king, Gentoo and Magellanic colonies.

Permission to visit Volunteer Point must be obtained in agreement from the landowner, and is generally only possible when the track is dry.

Most visitors daytrip from Stanley but accommodation is available in the warden’s house at Volunteer Point
