My one gripe about San Francisco Bay is while it's beautiful it also feels too large at times, less intimate, and feels more intimidating than anything else.
It's large, but it's the best scenery. The Golden Gate, Bay Bridge, the fog, Alcatraz,...it's one of the most iconic places in the country and not jut among "bays".

That's a relatively small section of SF Bay, south of the Bay Bridge it's pretty meh imo.
This poll was made by someone with a very narrow perspective on
this category of shapes of things called "bays.........."
Should have begged the mods for a do-over.
The body of water bordering downtown Boston is a harbor, a harbor that indeed feeds into Massachusetts Bay.
The outer harbor is still called 'harbor' rather than 'bay' so I guess you can disqualify it on that basis. But the outer harbor looks a lot like a bay-- much bigger than a typical harbor (the inner harbor has Boston's working waterfront), lined with beaches, full of scenic islands, and sharply defined by peninsulas from the amorphous Massachusetts Bay. New York upper bay is so-so for natural scenery but has a spectacular display of urban skyline. It is hard to beat the Seattle and San Francisco bays for the combined effect of urban and natural scenery. English Bay beside Vancouver, B.C., is right up there with the other two.
Why is Trinity Bay, 30 miles from downtown Houston, a subset of what most people just call Galveston Bay, even on this list? Second question is why anyone voted for it?
I could see Galveston Bay itself being included, as it does extend up to the Ship Channel area. The areas near Houston are the favorite of industry, so that's something.
