The Ojeda Beach (English; Bulgarian бряг Охеда brjag Ocheda ) is a 730 m long and non-iced beach in the south of Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It is located on the southeastern shore of South Bay , which is also the northeastern coast of the Hurd Peninsula . It is bounded to the north by Cape Hesperides , to the east by the Atlantic Club Ridge and to the south by Boeritsa Point .
He was probably already known to seal hunters in the 19th century who operated in the neighboring Johnson's Dock . Spanish scientists mapped it in 1991, Bulgarian in 1996, 2005 and 2009. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2012 after Miguel Ángel Ojeda Cárdenes, head of the Spanish Juan Carlos I station in several campaigns, for its support of the Bulgarian Antarctic Program.
