The Ivanov Beach (English; Bulgarian Иванов бряг Iwanow brjag ) is a 5 km long beach on the northwest coast of Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . On the southeast bank of Barclay Bay , it extends between Nedelya Point in the southwest, Rotch Dome in the southeast and Rowe Point in the northeast in a southwest-northeast orientation. Bilyar Point , 1.7 km northeast of Nedelya Point, belongs to this beach, as does a headland 1.1 km southwest of Rowe Point.
Bulgarian scientists mapped it in 2009. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in the same year after Lyubomir Ivanov (* 1952), topographical geodesist in Antarctica in several campaigns from 1994, author of topographical maps over Antarctica and founding chairman of the eponymous committee.
