A cove lying southeast of Williams Point, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands. Named by the UK-APC in 1958 after the brig Dragon (Capt. A. McFarlane) of Liverpool, which visited the South Shetland Islands in 1820-21. In 1998 the UK-APC named several features lying in proximity to Dragon Cove on the theme of “fabulous beasts” (e.g., Aspis Island, Charybdis Cove, Hydra Cove).
