The coast of Labrador covers more than 10 degrees of latitude and nearly 1000 miles by ship. Extremely indented and littered with thousands of islands it has more fjords, harbours, arms and inlets that is possible to adequately represent on any but the most professional of maps or charts. As the scale becomes smaller the number of coves, channels, tickles, bights, and rocks becomes increasingly more complex and the nomeclature more profuse. The bays listed are taken from the Department of Mines and Resources map of Labrador (1:1,013,760 scale). It is by no means complete and should be used in conjunction with a good atlas or other map of Labrador. The coast is divided into three sections (North, Center , and South) with a location map for each.
In the lists that follow the major bay name comes first followed by any secondary inlets (usually called "arm" or "harbour") indicated by a single "-"; tertiary inlets are indicated by two "- -".
