Repulse Bay lies directly on top of the Arctic Circle in eastern Nunavut. The Inuktitut name for the community is Naujaat, which means “nesting place for seagulls”. Starting in June, the nesting grounds, located on cliffs five km north of the community, are occupied by thousands of seagulls, as well as snow birds, loons, eider ducks, longtail ducks, and jaegers.

Ecotourism trips are available in Repulse Bay and Ukkusiksalik National Park around Wager Bay. Ukkusiksalik Park is home to a variety of arctic animals and plants, and is Canada's newest national park. Narwhal frequent the salt waters here and the Arctic char in the freshwaters are regionally acclaimed. Herds of caribou and their attendant wolf packs are common. Polar bear watching expeditions can also be arranged from here.

Repulse Bay is full of traditional Inuit life. The town is renowned for its excellent artisans, especially its Inuit carvers who work in bone, ivory and stone. Community residents have formed the Aivilik Arts Society to promote Repulse Bay carvings and art to worldwide markets.
