Hi nawee,
Hope that the definitions of "Gulf", "Bay" & "Cove" below will help with your question. I have also included a definition of the word "Inlet" which also may help you with your enquiry.
bay: an area of sea enclosed by a wide inward-curving stretch of coastline
gulf: a large inlet of a sea similar to a bay but often longer and more enclosed by land
cove: a small bay on the shore of the sea or a lake, especially one that is enclosed by high cliffs
Inlet: a narrow stretch of water reaching inland from a sea or lake
Hope that helps
Scottish Tiger
