Carolina bays and pocosins are two distinct physiographic features found on the Atlantic Coastal Plain of the southeastern United States. Confusion frequently still exists pertaining to the definitions of both as they are often incorrectly assumed to be synonymous. This article defines each term and illustrates how bays and pocosins differ.
