Adventure Bay is the name of a locality, a township and a geographical feature on the eastern side of Bruny Island, Tasmania.

Furneaux's log made clear the bay was an excellent anchorage for resupplying vessels:To the SW of the first watering place there is a large lagoon which I believe has plenty of fish in it for one of our Gentlemen caught upwards of 2 dozen trout, and shot a possum which was the only animal we saw.

[3] Furneaux also noted signs of an Aboriginal settlement in the form of "several huts or wigwams on shore, with several bags of grass in which they carry their shellfish.

"[3] Reliably mapped and offering an abundance of fresh water and game, Adventure Bay quickly became a popular anchorage for European explorers.

Others who resupplied their vessels in the bay in this period included Bruni d'Entrecasteaux aboard Recherche in 1792 and 1793, and Nicolas Baudin in the corvette Géographe in 1802.
