It is bordered by five municipalities: Antibes, Villeneuve-Loubet, Cagnes-sur-Mer, Saint-Laurent-du-Var, and Nice.

In Nice, the Baie des Anges is bordered by four major landmarks: Nice Côte d’Azur airport, the Promenade des Anglais, Lympia port [fr], and Mont Boron.

Six rivers flow into the bay from west to east, which include Brague, Loup, Cagne, Var, Magnan, and Paillon.

[7] During the second half of the 20th century, the coastline of the Baie des Anges was extensively redeveloped with the aim of promoting tourism in Alpes-Maritimes.

These included the Lympia port in Nice, the dock at Villefranche-sur-Mer, the Vauban port in Antibes, the Saint-Laurent-du-Var marina, the Marina Baie des Anges in Villeneuve-Loubet, and Marineland in Antibes.
