Botany Bay is a bay in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, a few kilometers south of the central business district. It was the site of a landing by James Cook of the HMS Endeavour that marked the beginning of Britain's interest in, and eventual colonisation of, Australia. In modern times it is chiefly notable for being the site of Kingsford Smith International Airport, Australia's largest.

Clew Bay, in County Mayo, is a natural ocean bay. It contains Ireland's best example of sunken drumlins. According to tradition, there is an island in the bay for every day of the year. The bay is overlooked by Croagh Patrick, Ireland's holy mountain, and the mountains of North Mayo. Clare Island guards the entrance of the bay. The bay was the focus of the O'Malley family possessions in the Middle Ages, and is associated especially with Grace O'Malley.

The Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the United States. It lies off the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by Virginia and Maryland.

More than 150 rivers and streams drain into the Bay.
