Huon Gulf is a part of the Solomon Sea.
The coast, which quickly increases in elevation from the beach, is bordered by the Rawlinson Range to the north and the Kuper Range to the west, which rises to about 600 m (2,000 ft).
Lae, capital of the Morobe Province, is located on the northern coast of the gulf.
