Perdido Bay is a bay draining the Perdido River that lies on the borders of Baldwin County, Alabama and Escambia County, Florida. It lies west of the Florida communities of Pensacola and Perdido Key and east of the Alabama communities of Orange Beach and Lillian. Ono Island and the mouth of the bay are within Alabama territory, as the Florida border crosses the barrier islands just east of Perdido Pass and Alabama Point, where the bay empties into the Gulf of Mexico.
