Elysian Beach (Bulgarian: Елисейски бряг, romanized: Eliseyski bryag, IPA: [ɛliˈsɛjski ˈbrʲak]) is the ice-free 2 km long beach on the east side of Byewater Point on the northwest coast of Snow Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica.[1] The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.[2]

The feature is named after the Elysian Fields, part of the underworld in Greek mythology.[1]
