Anderson Bay is a coastal bay located in Nunavut, Canada, on the western side of Coronation Gulf. Its shores are low-lying but appear well on radar from approximately five miles south of Back Point. The west side of the bay is composed of lowlands that provide habitat for muskox. The area supports a goose colony near Anderson Bay and the Icebreaker Channel. The bay is subject to Arctic ice conditions, with historical accounts noting the presence of ice on Coronation Gulf into mid-July. For paddlers, this indicates a very short operational season, likely limited to a brief window in late summer when the ice has cleared. The low, exposed shores and open connection to Coronation Gulf suggest the bay can experience significant fetch, making it susceptible to wind-driven waves. There are no described formal access points, launches, or amenities. The surrounding landscape is characterized by lowlands and is used by wildlife such as muskox and geese. Given the remote Arctic location, paddlers must be entirely self-sufficient, prepared for cold water temperatures even in summer, and aware of the potential for rapidly changing weather and ice conditions.
