'''Noki Bay''' is one of the areas of [[Isle Delfino]], the main setting of ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Noki Bay is located at the north behind the island's "dorsal fin." As the name implies, this area is a home to the [[Noki]]s. In order to access Noki Bay, the player has to have collected at least twenty [[Shine Sprite]]s. Doing so will cause a column of light to appear at the pier of [[Delfino Plaza]], and staring up into it will transport [[Mario]] to Noki Bay, similar to the method used when entering the [[Tower of the Wing Cap]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.

Noki Bay has several platforms along the mountain and large pillar-like structures rising out of the water. The pillars have large shells at the top, with one leading to [[The Shell's Secret|a secret course]], and the pillars are connected together by [[rope]]s. Before completing [[Eely-Mouth's Dentist|Episode 4]], the water in the bay is [[Goop#Slimy water|polluted]] and will damage Mario if he tries to swim in it. In several of the episodes, there are a number of platforms floating in the water, with some being trampolines.  

To the left of the players starting point is a coastal area where a large ruin is embedded in the cliff. Placed along the cliff are several markings that will recede into the wall and reveal a path when sprayed. At the base of the cliff and along the coast is a Boat Rental shop run by a [[Raccoon]], who according to a nearby sign charges 90,000 [[coin]]s for his rentals. In the first episode, the boat is adrift due to the waterfall being clogged, but in later episodes, the raccoon allows Mario to use the boat for free. After Mario cleans Eely Mouth's teeth and the bay's water is clear again, the raccoon thanks Mario for cleaning the bay.

*Yoshi does not appear in any of the Noki Bay episodes, presumably due to the large amount of water. Nonetheless, a version of the Noki Bay theme music with Yoshi's bongo drums can be found in the game's coding.

*Noki Bay has the most bosses in ''Super Mario Sunshine'' with a total count of 3 bosses, not including Shadow Mario/Bowser Jr.

*Noki Bay has the deepest water levels in all the areas of the game.

*When the player is fighting Gooper Blooper in the second mission, the music when fighting a [[Proto Piranha|Gatekeeper]] plays instead of the regular boss theme, indicating it is intended as a miniboss theme.
