    Worsley Beach is a beach on the north coast of South Georgia in the South Atlantic. It is south of Hodson Point on the east shore of Fortuna Bay and is used for landings. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 2013. It is named after Frank Worsley (1872-1943), captain of the Endurance in the Endurance Expedition (1914-1917), who, along with three other expedition members, met the expedition leader Ernest Shackleton in 1916 on the rescue trip with the James Caird from Elephant Island to South Georgia and together with Thomas Crean on the first crossing of South Georgia from King Haakon Bay to Stromness.
