Hey guys can you tell me what you call a body of water that seems like a river but connects to the sea at both ends?

A canal is a man made passage between two bodies of water. When it's naturally occurring it's called a straight.

Like a river? I hope you're not saying there is a directed flow. Under usual circumstances, that's not possible when both ends are at the same level (such as if both ends are oceans).

I've taken a look and I think the word I want is estuary. Thanks anyway.

>> No.5053933

I'd call it ocean.
