Bahía Windhond is a large coastal bay on the southern shore of Isla Navarino in the remote Chilean Antarctic Province. It is a significant saltwater feature, measuring approximately 5 nautical miles wide from east to west and extending 6.5 nautical miles inland to the north. The bay is noted for its clean, even bottom but is completely exposed to the prevailing westerly winds from the third quadrant. As the surrounding coastline is low-lying, these winds can strike with force and generate a heavy, confused sea within the bay itself, making it an unreliable anchorage and a serious consideration for paddlers. The climate is consistently maritime with even temperatures year-round, though the region is known for permanent inclement weather. A specific access point for kayakers is known at Caleta Beban on the bay's coast, which has been used for assembling and disassembling camp during a kayak expedition to Cape Horn. The area holds deep historical significance, having been inhabited by the Yagán people for over 6,000 years and later visited by numerous European exploratory expeditions in the 17th through 19th centuries. Ecologically, the bay is distinguished by its high algal diversity and the presence of an extensive kelp forest of Macrocystis pyrifera. From vantage points on the adjacent Dientes de Navarino massif, such as near Laguna Escondida, paddlers can gain views overlooking the western part of Bahía Windhond, the broader Nassau Bay, and the Wollaston archipelago.
