The Jahorlyzkyj Bay ( Ukrainian Ягорлицька затока / Jahorlyzka satoka ) is a shallow bay on the Ukrainian Black Sea coast.
The bay is located between the Kinburn Peninsula in the north and the Jahorlyzkyj Kut Peninsula ( Ягорлицький Кут ) in the south. From the open sea in the west it is partly separated by the two small islands Long Island ( Довгий острів ) and Round Island ( Круглий острів ), which formerly formed the southern part of the Kinburn Spit .
The bay is part of the Black Sea Biosphere Reserve and a Ramsar area in southern Ukraine. It is 26 km long, up to 15 km wide and 5 meters deep. In the northwest, the Jahorlyzkyj Bay borders on the Mykolaiv Oblast and in the northeast, east and south on the Kherson Oblast .
An expedition of the Institute for Underwater Cultural Heritage (from the Institute of Archeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine ) found the remains of a 2,700-year-old Greek settlement at the bottom of the bay .
