The sound is bounded by Cape Pond to the North and Hardey Point with the Coronation Islands to the South. The nearest populated town to the Sound is Kalumburu, to the North East.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Bonzle Digital Atlas – Map of York sound )〕 The main feature of the sound is Boongaree Island which is situated close to the mainland to the South and the Anderdon Islands and Murrara Island to the North. Prince Frederick Harbour is found at the southern end of the sound. The Hunter and the Roe Rivers both discharge directly into the Sound.
