Vansittart Bay (Wunambal: Banjal) is a large bay on the north coast of the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The bay is located in a remote area approximately 600 km (370 mi) north-east of Broome. It contains multiple islands including Mary Island and Jar Island. Vansittart Bay (including land and sea country) lies within the native title area of the Wunambal Gaambera people. The bay is known for several cultural and historic sites that are visited by ecotourism cruise vessels travelling along the Kimberley coast.
