The Sheila Cove is a bay on the north coast of Laurie Iceland in the archipelago of the South Orkney Islands . It is located in the southwestern part of Jessie Bay between Cape Moneta in the west and Cabo Diaz in the east.
Participants in the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition (1902-1904) carried out a survey of the bay in 1903. Expedition leader William Speirs Bruce named them years later after his daughter Sheila Bruce (later married Willman, 1909-2000).
