A headland is a coastal landform. It is a point of land, usually high, that extends into a body of water. If a headland is sufficiently large it is called a cape. They are often found in the same coastline as bays. However, a bay is flanked by land on three sides, while a headland is flanked by water on three sides.
If you were to stand on a headland, you would find that you are facing the water, and the water is also to your left and right side.
