New Plymouth is a bay bordered by an extensive line of beaches, lying south of Start Point and between Rugged Island and the west end of Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica.
This descriptive name, used by early sealers, dates back to at least 1822 and is now established in international usage.
