Bootless Inlet or Bootless Bay is a body of water in south-eastern Papua New Guinea, approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) southeast of Port Moresby.[1] There are four islands in the bay: Motupore Island, Loloata Island, Manunouha Island, and Bunamotu Island. A barrier reef across the mouth of the inlet protects it from rough seas. Several small creeks empty into the bay, but no large rivers.[2]
