I believe, you are describing what is called a SOUND. The Puget Sound is located in the Pacific Northwest and touches such places as Seattle and Winslow.
The enclosed area of a character is called a bowl. Once a bowl is created, the space is then called a counter. A counter is also defined as a partially enclosed space or area of a character.
You can use the word "bay" to describe a portion of the ocean that is bounded by land on 3 or more sides. So the eastern part of the Atlantic Ocean sticks over the Iberian peninsula (Spain and Portugal) and south of the peninsula of Brittany (France).
A gulf is a large area of ocean or sea that is partly enclosed by land, while a peninsula is a piece of land that is surrounded by water on three sides. Essentially, a peninsula is connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of land, while a gulf is a large water body partially enclosed by land.
Yes, "gulf" is a noun. It refers to a large area of sea or ocean partially enclosed by land, or a deep chasm or gap between two areas of land.
The question actually is what is the difference between a gulf and a bay because a harbour is attached to the land where boats dock. The best definition of difference between the two is, a gulf is, a large area of a sea or ocean partially enclosed by land, especially a long landlocked portion of sea opening through a strait. While a bay is, a body of water partially enclosed by land but with a wide mouth, affording access to the sea: so it looks like a gulf is larger than a bay
A large area of water is an ocean.
