The Greek in Acts 27:39 that is translated as “bay with a beach” in English is translated as “hand of the sea and it had sand” in Xicotepec De Juárez Totonac and as “where the sea made an opening into the land, with a level place next to the sea” in Rincón Zapotec. (Source: Viola Waterhouse in Notes on Translation August 1966, p. 86ff.)

“Bay” on its own is translated as “edge of the land where water was more quiet” in Tetelcingo Nahuatl. (Source: John Beekman in Notes on Translation, March 1965, p. 2-20)
