Salto Bay (Baliscano: Baía Salto; "jumping bay"; Kurupiran: Perihueyco; "water pool") is a shallow estuary in the southeastern portion of the island of Atlántida, within the Alpujarra, and enclosed by the Matarrañya / Cañadapirén. It is surrounded by a contiguous region known as Concordia (and colloquially "Greater Castejón"), and is dominated by the large cities of Castejón, Amposta and Yerba Buena.

Salto Bay is the drainage basin of Concordia conurbation. Water from the Matarrañya / Cañadapirén mountains, flow into Auquinco Bay, while water from the Southern Pyrenees / Chimbarongo flows south from Limón and Benicàssim into Oñoico Bay. Water from the Alagón and Colorado rivers flow into Mallín Bay which connects at its north end to Salto Bay. It then connects to the Atlantic Ocean via the Guadalquivir. However, this entire group of interconnected bays is often collectively called the Salto Bay. The bay was designated a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance on 2 February 2017.
