Description (see definition): A beach nearly a mile long at the S end of Beaufort Island, in the Ross Archipelago. The beach is occupied by a large Adelie penguin rookery and there is easy access from the sea when the coast is ice free. Named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE) (1958-59) for Captain John Cadwalader, U.S. Navy (USN), who encouraged and assisted the expedition in its Antarctic program, and also rendered valuable assistance to the New Zealand parties of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (CTAE), 1956-58.
