Boeritsa Point (Bulgarian: нос Боерица, ‘Nos Boeritsa’ \'nos 'bo-e-ri-tsa) is the rocky point on the southeast coast of South Bay, Hurd Peninsula on Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica formed by an offshoot of Atlantic Club Ridge. Its shape is enhanced by the retreat of adjacent Contell Glacier in the late 20th and early 21st century.
