Akin to a gulf-in the U.S. I am found. I'm also a ria, "a river that's drowned." I live on the coast, partly surrounded by land. My mouth is wide, and my edges are sand. I'm in the Northeast on the Atlantic Coast. "I'm the largest one there" is my primary boast.

Question

Akin to a gulf-in the U.S. I am found. I'm also a ria, "a river that's drowned." I live on the coast, partly surrounded by land. My mouth is wide, and my edges are sand. I'm in the Northeast on the Atlantic Coast. "I'm the largest one there" is my primary boast.

Billy Bob Joe · Answer

It might be Pencilvania because there is a little coast on the northern tip and it is the largest one in the North East Right?
