The feature was descriptively named by the 1984–85 Chilean Antarctic Expedition from the stillness of its waters (‘Quiet Bay’ in Spanish).
The cove is centred at 62°27′53″S 60°47′05″W which is 680 metres (2,230 ft) of Cape Shirreff, 4.26 kilometres (2.65 mi) northwest of Black Point and 1.18 kilometres (0.73 mi) east by north of Rapa Nui Point (British mapping in 1968, detailed Chilean mapping in 2004, and Bulgarian mapping in 2005 and 2009).
