Cape Mangkalihat separates the Celebes Sea in the north from the Makassar Strait in the south. It lies north of the Kutai Basin, and is separated from it by the Karangan River. The town of Sangkulirang lies at the base of the peninsula, and the northeastern Makassar Strait forms the Sangkulirang bay in its south.^{[citation needed]}
