Fortune Bay (French: baie Fortune) is a fairly large natural bay located in the Gulf of St. Lawrence on the south coast of Newfoundland, Canada.[1] The Bay is bounded by Point Crewe (46°57′08″N55°59′19″W / 46.95222°N 55.98861°W) on the Burin Peninsula and Pass Island (47°28′56″N56°11′52″W / 47.48222°N 56.19778°W) at the entrance to Hermitage Bay to the northwest for a distance of 56 kilometers. The bay extends in a northeast direction for 105 kilometers ending at Terrenceville.
