Gilchrist Beach, Remote beach on Heard Island, Australia.

Gilchrist Beach is a rocky beach 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) long on the north side of Heard Island, lying west of Compton Glacier. At its eastern edge it meets the sandy Fairchild Beach, and travelling eastwards from there leads to the base of Round Hill.

American sealers knew the beach as Rocky Beach by 1857, and the name Stoney Beach was also used between 1860 and 1870. The Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions surveyed Heard Island in 1948 and applied the name Gilchrist Beach, honouring Dr. Alan R. Gilchrist, the party's medical officer.

The Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions named this beach after Dr. Alan R. Gilchrist, who served as their medical officer during the 1948 survey.

Gilchrist Beach lies on the north side of Heard Island, west of Compton Glacier, and connects at its eastern end with the sandy Fairchild Beach; the base of Round Hill stands beyond that point. The island has no airstrip or harbour, so access depends on ship-based expeditions and landing conditions. Landings are managed under Australian Antarctic Division arrangements for the Heard Island and McDonald Islands Marine Reserve.

The beach was already charted by American sealers as Rocky Beach on an unpublished map of "Hurds Island" drawn between 1860 and 1870, and the name Stoney Beach was also in use. At its eastern end it meets the sandy Fairchild Beach, and the walk east leads to the base of Round Hill.
