Brighton Beach (54°7′S 37°10′W / 54.117°S 37.167°W / -54.117; -37.167Coordinates: 54°7′S 37°10′W / 54.117°S 37.167°W / -54.117; -37.167) is a beach lying between Zero Point and Adventure Point in Possession Bay, on the north coast of South Georgia. The name appears on a chart showing the results of a survey by DI personnel in 1926–30, and derives from the beach being as crowded with fauna as Brighton Beach, which is a popular tourist resort on the south coast of England.

“From the beach the child holding the hand of her father,
Those burial clouds that lower victorious soon to devour all,
Watching, silently weeps.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
