boca ciego

Question

I was recently in St. Petersburg Florida. There was an ocean inlet called "boca ciego". Literally translates to blind mouth. Could this mean more in a nautical term something else?

Answer 1

From this website:

Boca Ciega, Pinellas County -- Named for Boca Ciega Bay, Boca Ciega literally means Blind Mouth in Spanish. This may have been a reference to what it looked like at the entrance of the river.
