The bay crashes into the Shipunsky Peninsula to the northeast. It is limited by the western entrance cape of Lovushek and the eastern cape of Entrance [2] . The maximum depth is 54 m [3] .
It was mapped by T. I. Shmalev in 1765 as the harbor of the Holy Archangel Gabriel by the name of the ship, who had to stay here for the winter [4] . However, the hydronym did not take root, and soon the bay was named after the name of the owner of the vessel, the merchant I. Bechevin, the organizer of the second Russian expedition to Alaska . In 1791, G. A. Sarychev made a marine survey of the bay, in 1830 it was examined by navigator I. Ilyin. In 1900, the southern part of the harbor was mapped in detail by F. K. Huck, whose work was specified the following year by warrant officer V. V. Drachenfelsomgod [5] .
In the 1960s in the bay of Bechevinskaya, the maneuver base of the Soviet Finval submarines was formed, which was liquidated in 1996 [6] .
