{{Short description|Coast in Marie Byrd Land, West Antarctica}} '''Hobbs Coast''' ({{coord|74|50|S|132|0|W|scale:4000000_source:GNIS|display=inline,title}}) is that portion of the coast of [[Marie Byrd Land]], [[Antarctica]] extending from [[Cape Burks]] to a point on the coast opposite eastern [[Dean Island (Antarctica)|Dean Island]], at {{coord|74|42|S|127|05|W|source:GNIS}}, or between the [[Ruppert Coast]] in the west and the [[Bakutis Coast]] in the east. It stretches from 136°50′W to 127°35′. The coast was discovered by the [[US Antarctic Service]] (1939–1941) and named for Professor [[William H.

The [[United States Geological Survey]] completely mapped the coast from ground surveys and [[U.S. Navy]] air photos, 1959–1965.<ref name=gnis/>
