Half Moon Bay
About
Half Moon Bay, officially Halfmoon Bay, is a bay in the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands, United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, Ontario. The name was adopted officially on 5 October 1966. The bay lies on Bostwick Island in the Admiralty Group. Vesper services have been held there since 1887, when people from neighbouring islands and Gananoque gathered on Sunday evenings in July and August, and worshippers stay in their boats, which raft together or tie to the rock cliffs.
