Where the sea pokes into the land
A bay is a place where a tiny bit of the sea, or a lake, pokes into the
land. Seen from an airplane, a bay often looks as if a giant had taken a
big bite out of the edge of the land and water had come in to fill the
hole.
An inlet is also a body of water that pokes into the land. But an inlet
is long and narrow—more like a finger than a bite.
