Beall Island is a rocky island with small coves indenting the eastern and western sides, lying 600 m (660 yd) south-west of the Bailey Peninsula, in the Windmill Islands on the Budd Coast of Antarctica. There are several small lakes on the island. It was first mapped from aerial photos taken by the USN's Operation Highjump and Operation Windmill in 1947 and 1948. It was named by the US-ACAN for James M. Beall, U.S. Weather Bureau observer with Operation Windmill who assisted staff aerology officers with forecasting duties. The Beall Reefs are submarine ridges with depths of less than 1.8 metres (1 fathom), located 1 kilometre (0.6 mi) west of the island; they were discovered at the establishment of Wilkes Station in 1961 and named by ANCA after the island. Connors Point is the north-wester

Sie besitzt kleine Buchten an der Ost- und Westküste und liegt 330 m nordwestlich der Mitchell-Halbinsel. 400 m weiter westlich befindet sich die Insel Denison Island. Die Insel wurde anhand von Luftaufnahmen der US-amerikanischen Operation Highjump (1946–1947) und der Operation Windmill (1947–1948) erstmals kartiert. Das Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names benannte sie nach dem US-amerikanischen Meteorologen James McClenahan Beall (1917–2016) vom United States Weather Bureau, der während der Operation Windmill bei der Erstellung von Wetterprognosen behilflich war.
