A headland is an area of land adjacent to water on three sides. A bay is the reverse, an area of water bordered by land on three sides. Large headlands may also be called peninsulas; long, narrow and high headlands promontories. When headlands dramatically affect the ocean currents they are often called capes. A bay generally occupies an area wider than a fjord but smaller than a sound or gulf, either of which may include one or more bays.
A peninsula (from Latin "paene insula", almost island) is a geographical formation consisting of an extension of land from a larger body, surrounded by water on three sides.
A peninsula can also be a headland, cape, promontory, bill, point, or spit.

Bay: a body of water forming an indentation of the shoreline, larger than a cove but smaller than a gulf.
Peninsula: an area of land almost completely surrounded by water except for an isthmus connecting it with the mainland.
