- The Chesapeake Bay was a large bay running along the coast of Virginia and Maryland.
- The 'Chesapeake Bay is a large bay on the east coast of the United States in the Atlantic Ocean. The bay borders the states of Maryland and Virginia. Many rivers flow into the bay, including the Potomac River. In 1988, Dirk Pitt wanted to take Loren Smith on the bay in a hundred-mile-an-hour hydrofoil racing boat during this first meeting.
- The Chesapeake Bay is a large bay on the eastern coast of North America. The Susquehanna and Potomac rivers are major tributaries. Pollution of the bay, a traditional rich habitat for oysters, remained a problem in 2007. The bay is monitored by the Chesapeake Bay Program which reported general ecological damage to the bay, noting particularly loss of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), called locally, "bay grasses". One of the sources was runoff from manure on pastures in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. A "pollution credit" program is proposed by Pennsylvania.
- The Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the United States. It lies off the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by Virginia and Maryland. The Chesapeake Bay's watershed covers 64,299 mi² (166 534 km²) in the District of Columbia and parts of six states: New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. More than 150 rivers and streams drain into the Bay. The narrowest point of the Bay is spanned by the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel spans a 23 mile (37 km) section of the Bay at near its mouth.

- The Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the United States. It lies off the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by Virginia and Maryland. The Chesapeake Bay's watershed covers 64,299 mi² (166 534 km²) in the District of Columbia and parts of six states: New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. More than 150 rivers and streams drain into the Bay. The main stem of the Bay itself is about 189 miles (304 km) long, from the Susquehanna River in the north to the Atlantic Ocean in the south. At its narrowest point near Annapolis, Maryland, the Bay is 4 miles (6.4 km) wide; at its widest point, near the mouth of the Potomac River, it is 30 miles (50 km) wide. Total shoreline for the Bay is 11,684 miles (18 804 km), and the surface area of the Bay and its major tributaries is 4,479 mi² (11 600 km²). The narrowest point of the Bay is spanned by the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel spans a 23 mile (37 km) section of the Bay at near its mouth.
