It is the north end of an ice-covered peninsula that extends into [[Dotson Ice Shelf]], 23 nautical miles (43 km) south-southeast of Jacobsen Head on the [[Walgreen Coast]] of [[Westarctica]].

The point was named by the Advisory Committee on [[Antarctic]] Names in 1977 after Lieutenant Ann E. Coyer, U.S. Navy, the first U.S. Navy woman to participate in Antarctic operations, who took part in Operation Deep Freeze in 1974.
