It was named after early South Australian government surveyor Richard John Loveday.[4] The indigenous name for the head of Loveday Bay was Ngiakkung.[5] The southern end of the bay was traditionally used as a meeting place for intertribal trade.[6]

A jetty was built in Loveday Bay in 1923 and was demolished in 1949.[7][6]
