The bay is roughly rectangular and opens to the southeast. The corners are (clockwise from the south) Cape Navarin (another source says the adjacent Cape Thaddeus), [[Anadyr Estuary]], [[Kresta Bay]] and [[Cape Chukotsky]] on the [[Chukchi Peninsula]]. It is about {{cvt|250.|mi|nmi km}} across. A long gravel bar runs along the northeast shore for about {{convert|45|mi|nmi km}} east from Kresta Bay. The Gulf of Anadyr is covered with ice normally 10 months a year. Whales[[Whale]s such as [[bowhead whale|bowhead]] and [[gray whale|gray]] may appear close to shoresshore.
