The community is situated along the Marine Drive on Trunk 7 about 12 km (7.5 mi) southwest of Sheet Harbour, Nova Scotia.[4] The community extends around the shores of Tomlee Bay, an inlet of Spry Bay, itself an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean.[5][6] The mi'kmaq name for the area was Sebimkouaak, which translates to "extensive bog".[2] Dutch families settled across the bay in 1818, and their settlement was named Dutch Town.[2] The community is the home of the Spry Bay Campground and Cabins,[7] as well as Taylor Head Provincial Park.[8] The park contains sand beaches, 22 km (14 mi) of hiking trails and user facilities.
