Goulais Bay is a bay of Ontario in Canada.[1] It is part of Whitefish Bay which in turn is a large bay of Lake Superior. Goulais Point, on the southernmost tip of the peninsula that separates the bay from Batchawana Bay just to the north and from Whitefish Bay to the west, marks the northern entrance of Goulais Bay. North Gros Cap is the rock point that forms the bay's southern limit.[2]
