Florida Water Management District (SFWMD): What is a Lagoon, What is
a Bay?
This SFWMD page describes the characteristics of a lagoon and a bay.
A bay is a type of estuary--an area where saltwater from the sea mixes
with freshwater from the land. " A bay is a part of a sea, indenting
the shoreline as it cuts into the land formed by the sea. It is a wide
inlet but not as large as a gulf." This page provides links to specific
lagoons and bays in southern Florida, such as Biscayne Bay (see next
