A headland is an area of land adjacent to water on three sides. A bay is the reverse, rather an area of water bordered by land on three sides. A large headland may also be called a peninsula. Long, narrow and high headlands may be called promontories. When headlands dramatically affect the ocean currents they are often called capes. A large bay may also be called a gulf, sound or bight. A narrow bay may also be called a fjord. Any bay may include other bays (for example, James Bay is a bay within Hudson bay).

A body of water, fed by rivers, and subject to tides, that is made of brackish water flowing out to sea/ocean. Brackish water means fresh water mixed with salt water, but not as salty as the sea it is flowing out to. Two good examples in North America are the Chesapeake Bay, or San Fransico Bay.
