At its head, Chignecto Bay itself subdivides into two basins, separated by Cape Maringouin:
*[[Cumberland Basin (Canada)|Cumberland Basin]] - the northeast arm of Chignecto Bay (and the Bay of Fundy) between the two provinces, terminating at the [[Tantramar Marshes]] and the [[estuary|estuaries]] of the [[Tantramar River]] and [[Maccan River (Nova Scotia)|Maccan River]].
*[[Shepody Bay]] - the north arm of Chignecto Bay and is wholly within New Brunswick. Its northern limit is formed at the estuaries of the [[Petitcodiac River|Petitcodiac]] and [[Memramcook River]]s.

Many small named bays line the Bay's coast including [[Salisbury Bay]] at the mouths of the [[Upper Salmon River (New Brunswick)|Upper Salmon River]] and [[Cleveland Brook (New Brunswick)|Cleveland Brook]], site of the [[Alma, New Brunswick|Village of Alma, NB]].

Chignecto Bay is a northern extension of a [[rift valley]] that forms much of the Bay of Fundy.
