Iron Bay is a landing in New Westminster Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Iron Bay is located at 49.4500°N, 122.8667°W.

Iron Bay lies cradled between the steep, dark shoulders of coastal mountains and the restless, grey expanse of the Pacific. It lies 27.6 km north-east of Vancouver, BC (from Vancouver, BC: bearing 40°T), and is situated 15.6 km north-north-east of Belcarra. The air here carries a perpetual dampness, a subtle scent of cedar and salt that clings to the mist-shrouded firs and hemlocks climbing the inclines. Below, the shoreline is a jagged mosaic of barnacle-encrusted rocks and driftwood, where the tide sighs and hisses, leaving behind a glistening, ephemeral lacework on the sand. Even on the clearest days, a certain hushed reverence seems to settle over the landscape, as if the ancient forests are holding their breath, listening to the murmur of the water. The history of Iron Bay is deeply entwined with the relentless pull of the sea and the rich bounty it offered. For generations, this sheltered inlet has been a vital hub for fishing fleets, their weathered trawlers bobbing like patient seabirds at anchor, a testament to the enduring, if often challenging, maritime economy. Indigenous peoples have long known these waters, their ancestral connection palpable in the very contours of the land, a silent narrative whispered by the wind through the ancient cedars. While the grander industrial booms have ebbed and flowed, the quiet industry of fishing and the more recent emergence of artisanal crafts have sustained Iron Bay, imbuing its daily life with a practical, resilient spirit.
