Convict's Bay, Bermuda

Convict's Bay is a bay located in St. George's Harbour on St. George's, Bermuda in Bermuda and next to Ordnance Island, Bermuda.

The bay was home to HMCS Somers Isles, a Royal Canadian Navy training base and before that a Royal Navy base.

After the departure of the navy and felons, Convict's Bay is now a residential neighbourhood. Streets in the area reflect the neighbourhood's past:
