Coastal areas during summer are accessible from water where landing is possible. This assumes, of course, that you have transportation to an Antarctic bay or other landing area.

The 'beaches' are mostly stone 'rubble' and not sand as one can see on some other beaches.

During winter, the coastal areas disappear because the Antarctic ice sheet expands -- the sea water freezes -- effectively doubling the size of the continent.
