Foul Bay is a locality in South Australia located on the south coast of Yorke Peninsula immediately adjoining Investigator Strait about 130 kilometres (81 mi) west of the Adelaide city centre.^[3][6] It was formally established in May 1999, with its name deriving from the Foul Bay Shack Site on South Coast Road. It also incorporates the pre-existing "Old Wheel Inn Shack Site" and the "Point Davenport Shack Site". A government town named "Nugent" was surveyed at the end of Nugent Road, near the Point Davenport site, in July 1880; however, it was never developed and was declared to have ceased to exist on 11 June 1925. In 2012, a portion of Foul Bay was added to Warooka.^[2][8][9]

As of 2014, the majority land use within the locality was “primary production.”^[10] The 2011 census reported that Foul Bay shared a population of 241 people with the adjoining locality of Marion Bay.^[1] Foul Bay is located within the federal division of Grey, the state electoral district of Goyder and the local government area of the Yorke Peninsula Council.^[2][4][5]
