Oeagrus Beach (Bulgarian: бряг Еагър, romanized: bryag Eagar, IPA: [ˈbrʲak ɛˈaɡɤr]) is the ice-free 1.3 km long beach on the south side of President Head, Snow Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It is situated west of St. Sofroniy Knoll and south of Calliope Beach.[1] The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.[2]

The feature is named after the mythical Thracian king Oeagrus, father of the musician and poet Orpheus.[1]
