Mobile Bay (Newfoundland and Labrador)

Mobile Bay is a small bay located on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It lies on the eastern coast of the peninsula, opening into the Atlantic Ocean. The bay is situated south of St. John's and north of Trepassey.

The community of Mobile is located on the shores of Mobile Bay. The area's economy has historically been tied to the fishing industry.

Geographically, Mobile Bay is characterized by its rocky coastline and sheltered waters. The bay experiences significant tidal variations.

The origin of the name "Mobile" for both the bay and the community is uncertain, but theories suggest a possible connection to French or Spanish explorers or fishermen who may have visited the area centuries ago. Another possibility is a connection to the Mobile people, a Native American tribe, though evidence for this is circumstantial.
