Bounty Bay

Bounty Bay, Pitcairn Island, at dawn

Bounty Bay is an embayment of the Pacific Ocean into Pitcairn Island.

Bounty Bay is named after the Bounty, a British naval vessel whose 18th century mutiny was immortalized in the novel Mutiny on the Bounty, and the numerous subsequent motion pictures made of it. Current Pitcairn Islanders are largely lineal descendants of the mutineers, as exhibited by some of their surnames.

Travellers to Pitcairn are usually brought in by longboat into Bounty Bay.
