It seems to me that a cove is a type of bay. A cove is always a bay but a bay is not always a cove. Am I right? Or is there something special about a bay that seperates it from a cove in some cases? I'm pretty sure that sometimes a bay is a cove. My main point is: shouldn't this info be on the page about Headlands and bays under "types of bay"?-- Matt D 21:22, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
It would make sense to make a subcategory of the bay article that includes types of bays, one of which would be a cove. They are formed by the same process of differential erosion, but coves are just smaller and have a narrower entrance. Rectore310 ( talk) 01:38, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
Well, there is another usage Cove: Australian colloquial for a fellow, an adult male person of unremarkable breeding
Valleys in the Appalachian Mountains are also called coves. Appalachian cove is also a specific type of ecosystem. For a good example, see Cades Cove.
The point where a wall meets the floor is also referred to as a cove. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.201.162.187 ( talk) 21:39, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
