Liverpool Beach

Liverpool Beach (Bulgarian: Ливърпулски бряг, romanized: Livarpulski bryag, IPA: [ˈlivɐrpoɫski ˈbrʲak]) is the crescent-shaped beach extending 1.8 km on the east side of Walker Bay on the south coast of Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica.

It is situated on the west side of the small ice-free promontory ending in Hannah Point, and bounded by Hannah Point to the west, Ustra Peak to the northeast and the terminus of Verila Glacier to the north.

The picturesque beach is one of the most popular tourist sites in Antarctica, frequented by cruise ships.

The beach is named after the British city of Liverpool, the home port of many 19th century sealing ships operating in the South Shetlands including the sealer Hannah after which the adjacent point is named.
