Arkutino Beach (Bulgarian: бряг Аркутино, romanized: bryag Arkutino, IPA: [ˈbrʲak ɐrˈkutino]) is a beach extending 1.8 km on the east coast of False Bay, Livingston Island, Antarctica. The beach is situated on Rozhen Peninsula, and is bounded by Charity Glacier to the north, Barnard Point to the south, and Veleka Ridge to the east. It is snow-free in the summer. The ice-free surface area of the beach and the adjacent Veleka Ridge is 468 hectares (1,160 acres).[1]

The feature was named after the coastal lagoon of Arkutino in southeastern Bulgaria.
