The Geoffrey Bay is a bay on the Budd Coast of the East Antarctic Wilke country . In Newcomb Bay , it is east of Budnick Hill on the north side of the Bailey Peninsula .
An initial mapping was made using aerial photographs of the US Operation Highjump (1946–1947). The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) named the bay after Geoffrey Denys Probyn Smith (1920-1991), senior construction engineer of the Melbourne- based Antarctic Division and significantly involved in the construction of the Casey station .
