A body of water that penetrates a coastline is called a bay. Bays are typically characterized by their partially enclosed nature, created by the land curving inward, which allows water from the ocean or sea to enter and form a sheltered area. They can serve as important habitats for marine life and often provide safe harbors for ships and boats. Examples of well-known bays include San Francisco Bay and Chesapeake Bay.
