Motion Bay is a historic, sheltered saltwater inlet on the eastern shore of Newfoundland and Labrador's Avalon Peninsula, home to the vibrant fishing community of Petty Harbour-Maddox Cove. Nestled deep within the bay, the village is characterized by its colorful houses, active fishing boats, and traditional stages, all set against a dramatic backdrop of steep hills overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The bay provides a picturesque and authentic working-waterfront setting, approximately 10 kilometers south of St. John's. Its narrow, sheltered nature and deep anchorage have supported a continuous fishery for centuries, making it a location rich in maritime heritage and angling opportunity.
