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.
A gulf is a wide opening, as in a hole made in the soil, while an island is a piece of land surrounded by water.
