What is Gulf of Gonâve?
[[File:Gulf of Gonave NASA.jpg|thumb|280px|Gulf of Gonâve seen from [[space]] ([[false color]])]] The '''Gulf of Gonâve''' ({{lang-fr|Golfe de la Gonâve}}) is a large [[bay|gulf]] along the western coast of [[Haiti]]. It is at {{coord|19|N|73.5|W|}}. [[Port-au-Prince]], the [[capital city]] of Haiti, is on the coast of the gulf. Other cities on the gulf coast include [[Gonaïves]], [[Saint-Marc]], [[Miragoâne]], and [[Jérémie]]. Several islands are in the gulf; the largest is [[Gonâve Island]], followed by the much smaller [[Cayemites]]. The [[Artibonite River]] flows into this gulf. [[Gonâve Island]] splits the gulf in two channels (a channel is a narrow part of the sea): the ''Saint-Marc Channel'' to the north and the ''Gonâve Channel'' to the south. {{authority control}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Gonave, Gulf of}} [[Category:Geography of Haiti]] [[Category:Gulfs of North America]]
