[1] The shore in the area around Cape Billings is bounded by narrow sandspits, beach ridges and swales enclosing a series of coastal inshore lagoons, with the Long Strait lies north of this headland.

There is a curious series of linked oval lakes of decreasing size along the shore towards west from the cape.

Cape Billings has a Tundra climate (ET)[2] because the warmest month has an average temperature between 0 °C (32 °F) and 10 °C (50 °F).

The Fuzzy hermit crab (Pagurus trigonocheirus) inhabits the waters off Cape Billings.
