Daisy Point marks the eastern entrance point of Beckman Fjord, which is part of the Bay of Isles on the north coast of South Georgia.

This headland was charted by Discovery Investigations in 1929 and called descriptively 'Low Point'. Following the South Georgia Survey of 1951-52, the point was named 'Daisy Point' after the brig Daisy of New Bedford, Massachusetts, the last of the old-time sealing ships, which under the command of Captain Benjamin D. Cleveland visited South Georgia for the last time in 1912-13. The captain of the Daisy is honoured in the name of Cleveland Rock.
