Gander Bay is a substantial saltwater inlet of Notre Dame Bay on the northeastern coast of Newfoundland. This scenic bay, characterized by its coastal communities and forested shorelines, serves as the primary estuary for the Gander River, which flows into the bay from the south. The bay is flanked by the communities of Gander Bay South on its southern shore and Gander Bay North on its northern shore, connected by the Gander Bay Causeway. The area has a long-standing historical connection to fishing and outdoor recreation, with a landscape defined by its proximity to natural waterways.
