Port Howard is the second largest settlement on West Falkland with a permanent population of twenty. Most of the people are employed by Port Howard Farm, which runs 45,000 sheep. It is a pretty place with an interesting history and lots to see both in and around the settlement. Take time to visit the busy shearing sheds or the small school with its single pupil or just chat to some of the fascinating characters that make Port Howard such a friendly and welcoming place. Every three years, Port Howard hosts the West Falklands Sports. This weeklong celebration of the end of the shearing season combines serious horseracing with even more serious partying! Port Howard epitomizes all that is good about country life in the Falkland Islands. Green-roofed houses nestle into a cozy valley beside a deep creek filled with fish and a working farm running about 40,000 sheep sits comfortably alongside an excellent tourist lodge. Some of the best sea trout fishing in the world can be accessed from Port Howard either on the Warrah or Chartres Rivers - fish in excess of ten pounds are regularly caught here. If you're not into fishing then Port Howard offers excellent golf, boat trips and excursions to see penguins and other wildlife at Fox Bay and Gladstone. On the other hand, you could just sit and relax in this very special oasis of peace and tranquility.
