The coastal bridge Patapat Viaduct overlooks the bay. Along the bay shore on the east, there is space for only a narrow road on the coastline. The Patapat mountains lie between the Pasaleng bay on the east and Bangui bay to its west.〔 They rise high above the south-western shore of Pasaleng Bay, reaching an elevation of over , while the slopes of Caraballo (Karaballo) mountains rise from the eastern shore of the bay. The Cordillera Mountains, located in the central part of the island of Luzon, also terminate at the bay.
