Stayed in Stanley for 5 days. We are right on the beach and penguins come ashore at night. They are ‘Little Penguins’ or ‘Fairy Penguins’ they are the smallest breed of penguins. We saw about 80 come ashore and it is the off season. They come ashore once it gets dark and you can hear them squawking as they come out of the sea and then they waddle up the rocks. There is a viewing platform on Godfreys beach with red lights so that you can see the penguins. They are so cute.

Stanley is the home of ‘The Nut’ this is a huge volcanic plug. You can either take the very steep walk up or get on the chair lift. We walked and it is VERY steep. Once at the top there is a 2km walking circuit with fantastic views.
