Lighthouse Bay (54°3′S 37°8′W / 54.050°S 37.133°W / -54.050; -37.133) is a small bay between Cape Crewe and Point Abrahamsen, forming the northern arm of Cook Bay along the north coast of South Georgia. It was charted by Discovery Investigations personnel in 1929, and was probably so named at that time because a lighthouse (now disused) was located on nearby Sheep Point.[1]
