Sentry Cove (62°13′S 58°26′W) is a cove on the southwest side of Demay Point, Admiralty Bay, King George Island. So named following geological work by British Antarctic Survey (BAS), 1975-76. The name derives from the serried row of upended whale skulls along the beach at the head of the cove. After 1979, a Polish Antarctic Expedition referred to this feature as "Rajska Zatoka" (paradise cove).
