Detailed explanation-1: -Bays, gulfs, and seas are all marginal water bodies. This means that a part of the water feature is bounded by a land mass or another barrier. What is this? A sea is an area of open water that is partially bounded by a land barrier while a gulf is an area of water indented into a land mass.
Detailed explanation-2: -A gulf is a part of the ocean (or sea) that is partly surrounded by land (it is usually larger than a bay).
Detailed explanation-3: -A bay is usually smaller and less enclosed than a gulf. The mouth of the bay, where meets the ocean or lake, is typically wider than that of a gulf. Example: The Persian Gulf is much smaller than Hudson Bay, Canada.
Detailed explanation-4: -In terms of geography, seas are smaller than oceans and are usually located where the land and ocean meet. Typically, seas are partially enclosed by land. Seas are found on the margins of the ocean and are partially enclosed by land. Here, you can see that the Bering Sea is part of the Pacific Ocean.
