Carlita Bay is a small bay in the west side of Cumberland West Bay, South Georgia, just west of Islet Point. The feature was earlier named Horseshoe Bay, probably during the survey of Cumberland West Bay by HMS Dartmouth in 1920, but this name was later accepted for a bay close south of Cape George, less than 15 miles (24 km) away. A new name, proposed by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1957, has been substituted for the feature now described.

Carlita Bay is named after the Carlita (or Little Carla), a whale catcher built in 1907 and owned by the Compañía Argentina de Pesca, who used it for sealing and for general transport work.
