Mount's Bay (Cornish: Baya an Garrek) is a large, sweeping bay on the English Channel coast of Cornwall, UK, stretching from the Lizard Point to Gwennap Head.
In the north of the bay, near Marazion, is St Michael's Mount.
A large natural harbour in summer, in an onshore winter gale it presents a great danger to shipping and a "maritime trap", especially for sailing ships.
There are more than 150 known wrecks from the nineteenth century in the area.
