Grand Bay (New Brunswick)

The Grand Bay is a body of water at the confluence of the Wolastoq and Kennebecasis rivers in southern New Brunswick, Canada. The bay is approximately 19.7 km² and spans across the boundary between Saint John and Kings counties.^[1]

The Grand Bay's northern terminus is generally accepted to be Brandy Point on the western bank of the Wolastoq and Lands End on the Kingston Peninsula. To the south, the Grand Bay extends to Boars Head in Saint John's west side where the river splits into the South Bay and the Pokiok Narrows. From Boars Head to Lands End, the Grand Bay extents 2.4 miles northwest and averages over 0.9 mile in width.^[2] Its eastern extremity is the head of Kennebecasis Island, beyond which are the Kennebecasis Bay and Milkish Channel. At times, the water is quite rough for the passage of small craft.
