Natural Features Beyond Islands in Atlantic Islands of Galicia National Park

Broadening the scope beyond individual islands reveals diverse natural categories that define the broader coastal and marine boundaries of the protected area. Exploring associated physical structures provides a comprehensive view of the regional hydrology, shoreline geography, and interconnected maritime habitats.

Bays

A bay is a body of water partly enclosed by a curved or recessed shoreline while remaining openly connected to a larger sea, ocean, or lake. Its form may reflect erosion, drowned valleys, glacial excavation, faulting, volcanic structure, sediment barriers, or other coastal processes. The category describes geographic enclosure and should not be treated as synonymous with a gulf, lagoon, harbor, or estuary when the source uses a more specific identity.
