Fox Bay (Spanish: Bahía Fox or Bahía Zorro ) is the second largest settlement on West Falkland in the Falkland Islands. It is located on a bay of the same name, and is on the south east coast of the island. It is often divided into Fox Bay East ("FBE") and Fox Bay West ("FBW") making it two settlements: combined, these make the largest settlement on West Falkland, but if separated, Port Howard is the largest. Fox Bay takes its name, like the Warrah River, from the Falkland fox, an animal locally called the warrah and now extinct. Fox Bay has two airstrips for use by FIGAS Islander aircraft.

  • Fox Bay (Spanish: Bahía Fox or Bahía Zorro ) is the second largest settlement on West Falkland in the Falkland Islands.

It is often divided into Fox Bay East ("FBE") and Fox Bay West ("FBW") making it two settlements: combined, these make the largest settlement on West Falkland, but if separated, Port Howard is the largest. Fox Bay takes its name, like the Warrah River, from the Falkland fox, an animal locally called the warrah and now extinct. Fox Bay East's houses are scattered around a common. There is a school, a shop, and a post office which was founded in the 1890s. There is also a social club, and a refuelling base for RAF helicopters. In the post office building since 2015 is a small postal museum. Fox Bay has two airstrips for use by FIGAS Islander aircraft. Fox Bay West was once as large as FBE, but since the farm was subdivided and sold off in 1985 the number of residents has diminished. Until the 1990s, the track between the two settlements was "so bad that [it was] often impassable in the winter months" but an all-weather track was built in the early 1990s, improving communications between the two settlements. This was one of the first roads in the now extensive West Roads scheme. (en)

  • Baía Fox (em castelhano: Bahía Fox ou Bahía Zorro ) é o segundo maior assentamento na Malvina Ocidental, nas Ilhas Malvinas. Ele está localizado em uma baía com o mesmo nome e se situa na costa sudeste da ilha. Muitas vezes é dividido em Baía Fox Leste e Baía Fox Oeste, eventualmente tomando-se como dois assentamentos: combinados, estes fazem o maior assentamento na Malvina Ocidental, mas se separados, Port Howard é o maior. O nome Baía Fox vem, assim como o Rio Warrah, de uma espécie de raposa, localmente chamada de "warrah", já extinta. As casas da Baía Fox Bay Leste estão espalhadas em torno de uma área comum. Há uma escola, uma loja e uma agência de correios fundada na década de 1890. Há também um clube social, e uma base de reabastecimento para os helicópteros da Força Aérea Real. No edifício dos correios desde 2015 há um pequeno museu. No passado localidade Baía Fox Oeste teve o mesmo porte da Baía Fox Leste, mas desde que a fazenda foi subdividida e vendida em 1985, o número de residentes diminuiu. Até a década de 1990, a rodovia entre os dois assentamentos era "tão ruim que se tornava intransitável nos meses de inverno", mas uma pista de melhor qualidade construtiva foi feita no início da década de 1990, proporcionando a melhoria da comunicação entre os dois assentamentos. Esta foi uma das primeiras estradas no hoje extenso esquema de rodovias da Malvina Ocidental. (pt)
