Within the framework of the nonlinear long wave theory the regularities of solitary long wave propagation in the semi-closed bays of model and real geometry are numerically studied. In the present article the zones of wave amplification in the bay are found. The first one is located near the wave running-up on the beach (in front of the bay entrance) and the other one -in the middle part of the sea basin. Wave propagation in these zones is accompanied both by significant rise and considerable fa
