Deception Bay, Coastal administrative region in Queensland, Australia.

Deception Bay extends along the northern edge of Brisbane's metropolitan area, featuring residential neighborhoods near protected wetlands and coastal waters.

Lieutenant John Oxley named the area in 1823 when he mistook the shallow waters of the bay for a river entrance during his exploration.

The Gubbi Gubbi people maintain strong connections to this land, which contains numerous sites reflecting their traditional practices and knowledge systems.

The region contains multiple educational facilities, shopping centers, and public transport connections that serve its population of over 19,000 residents.

The Deception Bay Sea Baths, constructed in the early settlement period, remain as physical evidence of the area's maritime recreational history.
