Laager Point is a conspicuous headland extending out from President Beaches on Byers Peninsula, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica and forming a southeast entrance point for New Plymouth harbour and a northeast entrance point for Osogovo Bay. The area was visited by 19th century sealers.
