The bay opens towards the south and contains numerous shoals. It is limited by the Cap Blanc headland on its western side.[2]
In French maps the inner bay is known as Baie de l'Archimède and the wider bay as Baie du Lévrier.
The Dakhlet Nouadhibou Region, one of the primary administrative divisions of Mauritania, is named after it.
