Kelp Harbour (in Spanish: Puerto Cachiyuyo ) is a bay located in the west cost of East Falkland, in the Falkland Islands. It is located in the Bay of San Carlos, between the Dos Lomas peninsula, to the north and the peninsula of hope, to the south. The settlement of Dos Lomas is close by.[1]

Map of the "corrals" (corrales) made by the gauchos (cattle herders) on the islands. Some of them maintain their Spanish name.
