Harbor

Definition
A harbor is a deep body of water that protects boats near land. High waves and strong currents usually do not reach harbors, so boats stay safe while anchored there. Some harbors are created by surrounding land, which keeps the water calm. They are called natural harbors. Artificial, or man-made, harbors are created by structures called seawalls or breakwaters.

Facts & Details
Harbors are found along coasts around the world. Harbors are always part of a larger body of water—for example, a lake or an ocean. Coastlines that curve inward make good places for natural harbors. This type of coastline is often called a bay. Barrier islands, which run along a coast, also create natural harbors. For example, New York Harbor lies between the coast of New York and Long Island.
