Bight (geography)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For other meanings of bight, see Bight.
In geography, bight has two meanings.
A bight can be simply a bend or curve in any geographical feature—usually a bend or curve in the line between land and water.
Alternatively, the term can refer to a large (and often only slightly receding) bay. It is distinguished from a sound by being shallower.
