President Beaches

The President Beaches line the western shoreline of the Byers Peninsula of Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, part of the British Antarctic Territory. They stretch from Hell Gates to Start Point.

The beaches were named following geological work by a United States Antarctic Research Program field party in February 1969: they were so named in order to preserve a form of the name 'President Harbor' which had previously been given by an American chart to New Plymouth.
