Ojeda Beach (Bulgarian: бряг Охеда, ‘Bryag Ojeda’ \'bryag o-'he-da) is the ice-free beach extending 730 m on the southeast coast of South Bay, Hurd Peninsula on Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It is bounded by Hespérides Point to the north, Hesperides Hill and Atlantic Club Ridge to the east, and Boeritsa Point to the south. The beach was possibly visited by early 19th century sealers frequenting the nearby Johnsons Dock.
