The Escarpada Point ( Spanish Punta Escarpada , in the United Kingdom named as Craggy Point , both translated: Rocky Point ) is a rocky headland at the southwest end of Clarence Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It marks the southern limit of the Caleta Feilberg .

The descriptive naming took place during a research trip carried out between 1953 and 1954 on behalf of the Argentine government. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee completely translated this designation into English on November 3, 1971, while the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1972 only carried out a partial translation.
