The Playa Lobería (Spanish for Robben beach ) is a 175 m long beach in the north of Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . On the west side of Cape Shirreff on the northern foothills of the John Paul II peninsula, it is located immediately northeast of Punta Doris .
Scientists of the 45th Chilean Antarctic Expedition (1990–1991) named it after the fact that the largest seal colony on Cape Shirreff is located here.
