Шаблон:Infobox body of water Baker Bay is a bay located just inside the mouth of the Columbia River, behind Cape Disappointment on the north side of the river, in Pacific County, Washington and Clatsop County, Oregon.[1]

Located on Baker Bay is the city of Ilwaco and the census-designated place (CDP) Chinook. The Wallacut River and Chinook River empty into the bay.

The bay was named in 1792 by William Robert Broughton, captain of Шаблон:HMS and part of the Vancouver Expedition. He named the bay for James Baker, captain of Шаблон:Ship, which was anchored in Baker Bay when Broughton explored the river in 1792. Jenny and Chatham left together, crossing the Columbia Bar together.[2]

Sand Island (Clatsop County, Oregon) is located within the bay.
