It is oriented from the southeast to the northwest but meanders as it reaches the north to the confluence with Carancahua Creek. Generally slender, it is only about 1 mile (1.6 km) in width north of its circular mouth. The bay serves as a nursery for shrimp and as an ecosystem for diverse species of birds and fish.
