Bayla (Somali: Bandar Beyla, Arabic: بندر بيلا), is a coastal town along the Guardafui Channel in the northeastern Bari region of Somalia.

It historically served as an important landmark for sailors voyaging between the Arabian Peninsula and Horn of Africa.

[1] A coastal community, Bayle is noted for its various beden, or ancient design sewn boats constructed without nails.

[2] In the early modern period, Bedar Beyla was a part of the Majeerteen Sultanate (Migiurtinia), centered in Aluula.

[4][5] In October 2015, the Puntland government in conjunction with the local Kaalo NGO and UN-HABITAT launched a new regional census to gather basic information in order to facilitate social service planning and development, as well as tax collection in remote areas.
