John Beach () is a beach at the west side of the entrance to Walker Bay on the south coast of Livingston Island, in the South Shetland Islands. Ice-free area ca. 109 hectares (270 acres).[1]
At first the beach was roughly charted and named ‘Black Point’ by Robert Fildes in 1820-22, however as there was already a Black Point on Livingston Island, this name was rejected and a new one substituted by the UK-APC in 1958. John Beach is named after the brig John (Capt. John Walker) of London, which was sealing in the South Shetland Islands in 1820-21 and 1821-22.
