Tor Bay is a picturesque, historically rich fishing community located on the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia, within Guysborough County. The bay itself opens to the Atlantic Ocean, featuring a dramatic coastline with sweeping white sand beaches, rocky points, and quaint fishing villages like Larry's River, Port Felix, and Charlos Cove.

The waters are part of the productive North Atlantic ecosystem, supporting a vibrant commercial lobster fishery and offering anglers a serene, uncrowded environment for inshore and nearshore saltwater fishing.
