The Black Sea's northern coast is in several sections. In the west is the Bight of Odessa, named for Ukraine's largest port. In the center is the diamond shaped peninsula of Crimea. To the east is the Sea of Azov, connected to the rest of the Black Sea by the very narrow Kerch Strait at the eastern end of Crimea. The Sea of Azov occupies a shallow elliptical basin about 225 km from east to west and 140 km from north to south (140 by 90 miles). The Gulf of Taganrog extends from the northeastern corner of the sea and forms the lower estuary of the River Don. The northwestern half of the sea lies in Ukraine and the southeastern half lies in Russia. The Ukrainian coast features four long sand spits projecting to the south.
