Alazan Bay and its neighboring bays act as a natural barrier between the arid southern region of Texas and its much healthier region to the north. Alazan Bay is located at 27°20' north latitude and 97°31' west longitude. [1] The other two bays extending from Baffin Bay are called Laguna Salada Bay and Cayo de Grullo Bay.
