The Belaya flows through sparsely populated areas of Chukotka, flows southwards across the eastern edge of the Anadyr Highlands and the Pekulney Range, and joins with the Enmyvaam in the Parapol-Belsky Lowlands, at the head of the Anadyr Lowlands. The Belaya meets the Anadyr more than from its mouth in the mid-lower stretch of its course. Ust-Belaya village lies at the confluence of the Belaya and Anadyr. Below the confluence with the Belaya, the Anadyr separates into multiple smaller channels upriver from where the Tanyurer meets it. The Belaya and its tributaries are frozen for about eight to nine months in a year.
