St. Margarets Bay, Natural bay in Nova Scotia, Canada.

St. Margarets Bay stretches between Halifax County and Lunenburg County, marked by rocky shores that alternate with sandy beaches at Queensland, Black Point, and Cleveland points. The bay offers several natural harbors and sheltered anchorages for boats, with villages like Peggys Cove and Indian Harbour dotting its edges.

The area became known in the 1990s following a tragic airplane accident that occurred in the bay. This event led to the creation of a memorial that has marked the region since then.

The bay's name comes from Saint Margaret and is rooted in the area's colonial past. Fishing villages along the shore have shaped community life here, with local traditions tied to the sea and maritime practices.

The bay is best experienced by visiting the coastal villages or taking a boat out to explore the different coves and beaches. The area is well-accessible with several viewpoints along the shore roads.

The bay contains a nature reserve protecting eleven distinct islands that serve as rare nesting sites for birds. These islands range from tiny patches to larger forested areas and play an important role in preserving local bird species.
