Lazuren Bryag Cove (Bulgarian: залив Лазурен бряг, romanized: zaliv Lazuren bryag) is the 1.5 km wide cove indenting for 900 m the southwest coast of Coronation Island in the South Orkney Islands, Antarctica. It is entered southeast of Return Point and northwest of Cheal Point. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.
The cove is "named after the freezer vessel Lazuren Bryag of the Bulgarian company Ocean Fisheries – Burgas whose ships operated in the waters of South Georgia, 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."
