bay, creek, inlet, gulf, beach, seacoast
浦 centers on a coastal indentation where water meets land: a bay, inlet, or gulf. The beach and seacoast senses are natural extensions of that shoreline setting.
浦 combines 氵 (water) with 甫, which likely contributes the sound and helps express a waterside area.
Water 氵 beside 甫, a shape that suggests a shoreline. Picture a bay where the water curves into the land, forming a quiet inlet.
For ホ, imagine a small harbor where you can hear the water gently lapping: the sound 'ho' echoes across the bay.
