Sea Lion Island is the most southerly inhabited island in the Falkland Islands, located approximately ten miles south of mainland East Falkland. The island has a total area of 2236 acres, and is five miles in length. Most visitors arrive to the island using the government air service. The landing strip is dirt but well-maintained, and the old grass strip is still maintained in case of unfavourable winds. The big attraction of this island is the wildlife.
