What To Expect
Yorke Bay is a stunning white-sand beach close to Stanley, famous for its large gentoo penguin colony. The area features turquoise waters, rolling dunes, and wide open coastal scenery, offering excellent wildlife viewing and photography in a peaceful, natural setting.
Lady Elizabeth Shipwreck
Lying at the east end of Stanley Harbour is Stanley's most imposing and iconic shipwreck. Known as Lady Liz, the ship was launched in Sunderland in the UK in 1879 and suffered damage whilst rounding Cape Horn in 1913. She limped into Stanley for repairs but the high cost prevented any being carried out. After various moorings in Stanley Harbour, a violent gale in 1936 forced the Lady Liz into her current resting place. This is a favourite place to get pictures with the back drop of Stanley and the mountains to the West.
