* A gulf is an area of the coast where the sea flows into an area surrounded by land. If it is medium size we called it bay and if it is small, cove.

* A peninsula is a piece of land surrounded by water on all sides except for a strip of land, that is called isthmus, which links it with the rest of the coast.

* A cape is a piece of land which sticks out into the sea.

* A cliff is rocky part of the coast which ends very sharply, sometimes vertically.
