A baymouth bar is a sandbar that forms across the mouth of a bay, cutting off the lagoon from the ocean. This matches the given scenario described in the question. A sandbar refers to a long, narrow bank of sand that is formed in the water by currents, tides, or waves. A reef is a rocky, underwater structure that is formed from coral or other marine organisms. A groin is a man-made structure that extends from the shore into the water to help prevent beach erosion. None of these match the scenario described in the question as closely as a baymouth bar does.
