St. Mary’s Bay is one of many bays in Newfoundland, Canada, where bay is taken as a regional subdivision, somewhat along the lines of county divisions (Newfoundland, a largely maritime society, lacks counties). It is the most southern and eastern of Newfoundland’s major bays.
St. Mary’s Bay stretches approximately 40 kilometres wide at its mouth, from Point Lance in the west to Cape Freels in the east, and it extends almost 58 km to the NNE to its farthest point inland at Colinet.
