Linus Beach (Bulgarian: бряг Лин, romanized: bryag Lin, IPA: [ˈbrʲak ˈlin]) is the ice-free 2 km long beach on the east side of Cape Timblón, Snow Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It is part of the south coast of Morton Strait.[1] The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.[2]

The feature is named after the mythical musician and poet Linus of Thrace, brother of Orpheus.[1]
