Kalamita Bay (Russian: Каламитский залив, Ukrainian: Каламітська затока, Crimean Tatar: Kalamita körfezi, Каламита корьфези), also known as Gulf of Kalamita, is a bay and a gulf in the Black Sea south of Yevpatoria, Crimea.[1] Kalamita was likewise a name used for Inkerman.
For a 24 km arch east from Cape Karantinny approximately following a geological fault, Yevpatoria Bay forms an arm of Kalamita Bay with a change of current direction from the main bay.[2]
