The Playa Yamana is a beach on the banks of Barclay Bay 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 lies between Punta El Hallazgo in the north and Punta Mazzei in the south.
Scientists of the 40th Chilean Antarctic Expedition (1985–1986) named it so because they had found a human skull of the Yámana at Punta El Hallazgo .
