Zashchitnaya Bay (Russian: Бухта Защитная, Finnish: Suomenvedenpohja) is an end of Vyborg Bay in present-day Russian Federation in the City of Vyborg (Finnish: Viipuri) in the Leningrad Oblast. The Vyborg Bay is itself a bay of the Gulf of Finland (Finnish: Suomenlahti) in the Baltic Sea. The Castle of Vyborg is located by it. Also the Park Monrepos is located by Zashchitnaya Bay. The old 1856 opened Saimaa Canal, as well as the new one, both begin in Zashchitnaya Bay, too.

Famous quotes containing the word bay:
“Baltimore lay very near the immense protein factory of Chesapeake Bay, and out of the bay it ate divinely. I well recall the time when prime hard crabs of the channel species, blue in color, at least eight inches in length along the shell, and with snow-white meat almost as firm as soap, were hawked in Hollins Street of Summer mornings at ten cents a dozen.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
