Loveday Bay is an inlet in the Australian state of South Australia located at the south-eastern end of Lake Alexandrina on the west coast of the Narrung Peninsula.[2]
It is located within the locality of Narrung.[1] The bay has a subsidiary inlet on its south coast which is known as Salt Lagoon which includes the protected area, the Salt Lagoon Islands Conservation Park.[3]
It was named after early South Australian government surveyor Richard John Loveday.[4] The indigenous name for the head of Loveday Bay was Ngiakkung.[5] The southern end of the bay was traditionally used as a meeting place for intertribal trade.[6]
A jetty was built in Loveday Bay in 1923 and was demolished in 1949.[7][6]
