Sinclaire Bay is a south facing, low energy bay located at the eastern end of Edgecumbe Bay. It is bounded by 1 km long Sinclaire spit on the west and a mangrove-fringed, rocky shore to the east, with open Miralda Creek entering the eastern end of the bay. A 7 km long gravel road from Dingo Beach runs along the eastern shore of the bay and across the back of the beach, continuing up along the coast to Cape Gloucester, 6 km to the north. There are houses located on both the main and western bay beaches.
Sinclaire Bay (west) beach (972) forms the western boundary of the prograding bay shoreline. It extends from the western tip of the spit in a north-east, then north-west, direction for a little over 1 km, ending at a small, mangrove-filled inlet. It consists of a low energy beach, partially fronted by intertidal beachrock. There are a few houses along the beach front.
