**Kayak Bay** ([64°18′S 62°13′W](https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?params=64_18_S_62_13_W)) is a [bay](/source/Bay), 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) wide, on the inner (west) side of [Pampa Passage](/source/Pampa_Passage), indenting the east coast of [Brabant Island](/source/Brabant_Island) in the [Palmer Archipelago](/source/Palmer_Archipelago) in [Antarctica](/source/Antarctica) north of [Momino Point](/source/Momino_Point) and south of [Bov Point](/source/Bov_Point). [Malpighi Glacier](/source/Malpighi_Glacier) and [Mackenzie Glacier](/source/Mackenzie_Glacier) flow into the bay.

The feature was roughly mapped in 1898 by the [Belgian Antarctic Expedition](/source/Belgian_Antarctic_Expedition). It was mapped in greater detail by Argentine expeditions from 1947–48 onward and included as part of "Bahia Pampa" (now Pampa Passage). This bay was so named by the [UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee](/source/UK_Antarctic_Place-Names_Committee) in 1986 in reference to the sea canoes of the [British Joint Services Expedition](/source/British_Joint_Services_Expedition) that passed through the bay on a circumnavigation of Brabant Island in February 1985.[1]
