Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An enclosed bay inshore from a barrier bar is called a lagoon. Estuary is a partially enclosed coastal body of water, open to the sea, in which freshwater from rivers and streams mixes with saltwater from the ocean. A beach is a landform along the shoreline of an ocean, sea, lake, or river consisting of loose particles, which are often composed of rock, such as sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles, or cobblestones. A wave-cut bench is a narrow strip of land at the base of a cliff or steep slope that was cut back by wave erosion over a long period of time. A tidal bay refers to a bay that is influenced by the rise and fall of tides.
