Henry Reid Bay (sometimes Henry Reed Bay) is known locally as Homhovulu Harbor.^[1] It is a bay on the southerly coast of New Britain that opens into Wide Bay. It forms the furthest penetration of Wide Bay and is defined by Zungen Point on its north shore and Cape Turner on its southern shore. Wide Bay and Open Bay, on the northerly coast, form the isthmus separating the Gazelle Peninsula from the western part of the island.
