Bay of Cádiz

Bay of Cádiz

The Bay of Cádiz is a body of water adjacent to the southwestern coast of Spain. It touches the following municipalities in the province of Cádiz: Cádiz, San Fernando, Puerto Réal, El Puerto de Santa Maria, and Rota. The Bay of Cádiz should not be confused with the Gulf of Cádiz, a larger body of water which is in the same area but further offshore.

Inside Bay of Cádiz is the Bahía de Cádiz Natural Park.

There is also a "comarca" (the Spanish equivalent of a county) with the name "Bay of Cádiz".
