Square Bay is a coastal inlet located within the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, under the jurisdiction of the Hornsby Shire Council in New South Wales, Australia. This scenic bay is part of the intricate Hawkesbury River estuary system, characterized by sandstone headlands, sheltered waters, and significant tidal influence. It is situated near other notable bays like America Bay and Flint and Steel Bay, offering a relatively protected environment for inshore fishing amidst a backdrop of native bushland.
