The Dimitrov Cove (English; Bulgarian Димитров залив Dimitrow Saliw ) is a 6.8 km wide and 4.8 km long bay in the northwest of the Velingrad Peninsula on the Graham Coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It lies between Pripek Point in the west and Biser Point in the east. The Rusalka Glacier flows into this bay, the island of Camacúa Island is in its entrance. A side bay of Dimitrov Cove is the Hoek Bay , into which the Hoek Glacier flows.
British scientists mapped them in 1971. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named them in 2010 after the Bulgarian historian Boschidar Dimitrov (1945–2018) for his support for the Bulgarian Antarctic program.
