'''Flamingo Beach''' (, ‘Bryag Flamingo’ \'bryag fla-'min-go\) is the 2.6 km long and 600 m wide beach on the north coast of [[Greenwich Island]] in the [[South Shetland Islands]], [[Antarctica]]. Snow-free in summer, it is bounded by [[Terimer Point]] to the west, [[Orión Passage]] to the north, [[Agüedo Point]] to the east, [[Quito Glacier]] to the southeast and [[Teteven Glacier]] to the southwest. The area was visited by early 19th century [[seal hunting|sealers]].
The beach is “named after the ocean [[fishing trawler]] ''Flamingo'' of the Bulgarian company Ocean Fisheries – Burgas whose ships operated in the waters of [[South Georgia Island|South Georgia]], [[Kerguelen Islands|Kerguelen]], the [[South Orkney Islands]], [[South Shetland Islands]] and [[Antarctic Peninsula]] from 1970 to the early 1990s. The Bulgarian fishermen, along with those of the [[Soviet Union]], [[Poland]] and [[East Germany]] are the pioneers of modern Antarctic [[fishing industry]].”<ref>[http://bit.ly/2LC6sdT Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica]</ref>
