Paul Beach, Coastal stretch in South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, Southern Atlantic Ocean.
Paul Beach extends along the northern shore of South Georgia Island, characterized by black volcanic sand and surrounded by glacial mountains.
The beach served as a landing point for early 20th-century whaling vessels, supporting the operations of nearby stations until their closure in 1965.
Scientists regularly conduct research on Paul Beach to monitor the populations of Antarctic fur seals and various penguin species in their natural habitat.
Visitors can reach Paul Beach exclusively through authorized expedition vessels during the Southern Hemisphere summer months from November to March.
The beach provides a critical breeding ground for over 95 percent of the global Antarctic fur seal population, creating dense colonies during mating season.
