[[File:Granite Bay.jpg|thumb|left|Map of Granite Bay]]

Granite Bay is located at {{Coord|38|44|55|N|121|10|47|W|type:city}} (38.748504, -121.179793).<ref name="GR1">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/gazetteer-files.html|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|access-date=2011-04-23|date=2011-02-12|title=US Gazetteer files: 2010, 2000, and 1990}}</ref>
According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the CDP has a total area of {{convert|21.6|sqmi|km2|abbr=off|sp=us}}, of which, {{convert|21.5|sqmi|km2}} of it is land and {{convert|0.04|sqmi|km2}} of it (0.20 percent) is water.  The place name, Granite Bay, is derived from a bay in [[Folsom Lake]], a reservoir on the east side of the town created in 1955.  
The entire town is underlain by [[granodiorite]] of the Penryn Pluton of [[Cretaceous]] age, hence the geological basis for the place name.

==Climate==
Granite Bay has a [[Mediterranean climate#hot-summer Mediterranean climate|hot-summer Mediterranean climate]] (Köppen climate classification Csa) that is characterized by cool, wet winters and hot, dry summers (Köppen climate classification Csa).

==Cultural resources==
The history of Granite Bay started with the Maidu Indians, and it continued when miners, farmers, and others seeking to do business came during the Gold Rush to strike a fortune. The Granite Bay area was officially recognized on July 28, 1987 by the Board of Supervisors.{{cn|date=June 2024}}

The Nisenan, also known as the Southern Maidu, were one of three Maiduan-speaking tribes in the northern half of the Sacramento Valley. The Granite Bay area is located in the ethnographic territory of the Nisenan. The Nisenan lived along the American, Yuba, and Bear Rivers, as well as the Feather River, to which their territory extended.{{cn|date=June 2024}}
