The Amba River, Razdolnaya River, Narva River, and Barabashevka River all flow into Amur Bay.

Part of the bay is crossed by a bridge of the A-370 highway, spanning from the De-Friz Peninsula to the Sovetsky District of Vladivostok. Amur Bay is a popular tourism and recreation area in Primorsky Krai, with many sanatoriums, beach resorts and children's summer camps.
