The Dyke Point is a cape of King George Iceland in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It is located north of Halfthree Point near the southeast end of the Fildes Peninsula and divides a beach on the bank of a shallow and unnamed bay of Maxwell Bay into two sections each about 150 m long.
The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named them after the dykes found in the rock of the headland.
