The coasts of the gulf have capes Langeron and Malyi Fontan. In the north-western part of the gulf the estuaries Kuyalnik and Khadzhibey are separated by the Kuyalnik-Khadzhibey sandbar. The gulf of Odesa is more like a bight, especially considering the fact that geologically it is an extension of Black Sea Lowland. The gulf is in the shape of an ellipse stretched from southwest to northeast. Its northeastern portion is more shallow having only up to 5 m of depth where its southwestern portion has 14 m.
