It is located on the western coast of Newfoundland and separates the Great Northern Peninsula from the rest of the island.

Inner Bonne Bay consists of two arms, one which is south which has wooded coves and beach landings.

Bonne Bay was carved out approximately 10,000 years ago by two large glaciers in each one of the arms.

The glaciers then came together in the middle part of the Bay and continued to push on out to the ocean.
